The humiliation experienced by two young Romanians declared criminals in Russia. “They stripped my wife down to her panties and bra”

Two well-known Romanian vloggers were caught by the FSB in Russia and were banned for life from entering this country. They are considered enemies of Russia even though they only made vlog videos.

Cristi and Denisa, a photographer and an international trade manager, now vloggers, sold everything they had in France and hit the road. They have traveled the world far and wide, even been to Russia and Ukraine, but the second visit to Russia could be fatal for them. This is because the Russian authorities consider them enemies of the country and expelled them, but also banned them from entering the country for 50 years.

After making several videos in the previous visit to Russia, Cristi and Denisa now planned to explore Siberia and present the unvarnished reality of this country to their fans, as they had done a few months ago. In fact, the two previously presented the reality of this country in a balanced way and did not hesitate to present its assets and beauties, just as they did not remain silent about the great trials that the Russians are facing.

Officially they are now considered enemies of Russia

“Officially we are criminals for the Russians and for Russia. So they stripped us, me only in panties, boxers, and my wife in panties and a bra,” Cristi said at the beginning of the clip, and Denisa added: “We were kicked out, they walked around in our clothes… very tired, cabbage, they humiliated us, they kept us in the last possible conditions.”

The Russians considered that the two Romanians were on the side of Ukraine and that they came to Russia as spies. “We are pro-Ukrainians and we came to Russia somehow with other goals… They escorted us to the plane like criminals, as you see in American movies. We are not allowed to enter Russia and we have no right to return to the Russian Federation until the year 2076″Cristi also said.

Humiliation and barbarism in Russia

He then came back and presented the situation in detail and everything that happened to them the second time in Russia.

“We decided to enter Russia again because we were already the first time and we visited mainly the west of Russia. We have vlogs on the channel, you can watch them. When we entered Russia, we thought it would be nice to get to Siberia as well. You have to get an idea: when we first entered, it was also the end of the year holidays, which means that a lot of people were traveling in the country”he began.

The highlight is that the young people received visas, and entering Russia should have been a formality this time, after the problems encountered last time. Then, Cristi and Denisa were held for many hours at customs, but finally they were allowed to enter Russia and follow their route, without anyone giving them trouble. This time, however, things were completely different.

“After that we got out nicely, we arrived in Harbin, we visited a bit and the idea was from the first days to apply for a new visa to enter Russia again. I applied nicely online, as usual, like the first time. The visa was accepted very quickly, in four days I got an answer. So so far no problem. But everything started to have such small problems when I took the flight with Aeroflot. We thought about paying 130 euros per person to We flew from Harbin to Vladivostok. I went to a counter with a lady, and after that she called “Natasha” to take it to the officers who inspect it. She told me to sit on a chair officer to take me into an interrogation room”said Cristi.

Treat like dangerous criminals

Here Denisa intervened again, who told what happened.

“The idea is that he took us one by one. They also took my passport, they took me to the same room. We ask you the same questions that we both received: why did I go to Ukraine twice? Why did I come to Russia? He was more interested in why I was in Ukraine. And at the same time he was interested in why we came from Romania, from France, plus vloggers to visit Russia. Here in Vladivostok, unfortunately, that officer he was quite arrogant and he also had a colleague who laughed every time I gave information. She laughed like, “Hey, these fools must be lying, they must have come with other reasons.” At one point they even said that we are pro-Ukrainian and we came to Russia somehow with other goals”. said the young woman.

And she continued and related what happened to them. The FSB agents humiliated them and treated them like criminals and showed once again how much they hate the citizens of NATO states.

“Somehow they were making fun like that. When they heard Romania, France and in general the countries of the European Union that are in NATO, it was a problem. They put us at the door, in front of that white tape with black lines like in a prison, so they could take pictures of us from the front and in profile, like prisoners”she added.

Life ban

Basically, they were banned for life from entering Russia and were officially declared enemies of the country.

“They also started fingerprinting me. Fingers, palm, each finger individually rotated. More than that, mouth prints. He came with that stick he stuck in our mouths. They told us very quickly that you are not accepted in Russia and because you have been registered as criminals somehow in the country. We are not allowed to enter Russia and we are not allowed to return to the Russian Federation until the year 2076. First they took our phones, they took our codes to unlock them, to use them as they wanted, then they put us in the waiting room while they read us that whole page in Russian that tells us that we are no longer allowed to enter Russia.“, Cristi also stated.

Denisa said that the Russians took everything they had for fear of being filmed.

“They took all of our (cameras), because they were afraid that we might film any interaction with them. Meanwhile, we were kicked out of that area so they could inspect our luggage more deeply without us. They walked around in our clothes, in our belongings.”

The Russians did not touch their money, but treated them like criminals.

“I had all my cash in dollars in a box in my satchel. They were fair about it, they didn't take any money from us. But if they wanted to, we had no proof. They treated us like we were criminals. They decided to check us too. So they stripped us down: me in just my panties, and my wife in panties and a bra. They made sure we didn't have anything on us, microphones or hidden cameras. At 12:00 they took us outeh,” he said.

Deported to China

“My wife and I entered the pile with the men. There were two armored doors. All our phones were with the officers, in a box under a bench. You were not allowed to leave that prison at all. They came to tell us that we were going to buy plane tickets. Tickets chosen by them, naturally. There were two options: either to Thailand or to China. But you don't choose, they choose. I went with a officer at the counter. I paid about 250 dollars for the two tickets, so I lost the currency. They came back to the prison. Actually, that flight to Harbin was not possible. They said that if they sent us back to China, they would return us to Russia. arrested for many years”, Cristi explained.

The madness continued for the next few hours, so that the humiliation was total.

“Someone from Moscow called us to say you have to go to Beijing, but you're not even allowed to stay in China. The Chinese want you to fly Vladivostok-Beijing-another country”he also said.

“When Cristi got angry and said: “We already paid for the tickets that you forced us to buy to Harbin, and now you come to me and tell me that these are not good?”. I kept making a fuss on the phone because I was fed up. They humiliated us, they kept us in the last possible conditions. Some people in prison were kept there for many days, like animals in a cage”Denisa added.

In all that time, no one gave them even a glass of water, although they had done absolutely nothing to deserve such treatment.

“I never got a glass of water from them. Food? Never. We only ate when it was almost time to fly, when they let us out with the officer by our side“, Cristi also said.

Banter to the end

Denisa filled him in and said that in the end they paid about $650 for two tickets to Beijing on Aurora. And they left the airport only at 12:30 at night.

In China, although they were declared criminals by the Russian state, they did not encounter any problems. In Russia, on the other hand, everything was different.

“It sucks! I mean we could actually go to Harbin. They made everything as bad as possible. In total we lost 1000 or so euros. In Beijing we arrived and went through immigration in five minutes like normal tourists. There was no criminal left. The passports plus plane tickets stayed with the officer and were given to us only when we got on the plane. They escorted us to the plane like criminals. If we put questions, they said: “If you insist, it will turn out worse”. Or: “You have good terms with others, stop complaining”.“.

Denisa says that even after this experience, they will continue to respect the simple and honest people of Russia with whom they interacted during the previous visit. The Russian authorities, however, fall into a completely different category.

“This experience doesn't change our opinion about the Russians we met the first time, but the second time the authorities were rubbish, aggressive, abused their power“, said the young woman.

Cristi also spoke about the document received from the FSB by which they were banned from ever entering Russia again.

“The document we received clearly tells us: firm administrative ban from February 6, 2026 to February 6, 2076. Practically 50 years. Article 27, paragraph 7, point 1 of the Russian federal law. The Russian state considers the person a risk to state security. If you enter before 2076, criminal liability for illegal border crossing. That means detention“, points out the vlogger.

Denisa, who felt the most humiliated, however, cannot forgive.

“The way they did the procedures was the worst possible way. Woman with so many men locked up, no food, no water”she stated.

Cristi and Denisa believe that everything happened because the Russians are blinded by their hostility towards the Ukrainians and towards NATO.

“It all happened because they hate Ukraine and the people who go there so much. They consider us criminals just because we visited a tsareh,” he emphasized.

“Being Romanians, we are in NATO. They don't want to hear about people coming from NATO countries. If you have visited other countries that Russia doesn't love, you will have problems”, Denisa added again.

Their advice for those who really want to know Russia

Even so, they recommend those who still have a doubt and want to understand from their own experience the realities of this country to go there.

“If you love Russia, no problem. But now we are very unhappy. My advice: go to Russia, see with your own eyes and then give your opinion. You can't see the truth only through vlogs“, said Cristi.

However, there is also a nuance, and Denisa advises to go to Russia only those who have not previously been to Ukraine or other countries hated by the Russian authorities.

“If you haven't traveled to countries that Russia hates, it's possible to get in easily. But if you said something on Facebook against the country, you can be kicked out.” Denisa concluded.
