It's okay, one door slams and another opens in life.
I would however recommend both Moscow and St P as great places to visit as a tourist, the history and heritage there is fantastic.
I was working for a company there, and their rivals tried to headhunt me as they thought I would bring all the customers with me. I politely declined, as not a corporate politician type, so before my next trip there they bribed a local official to deny me a visa to travel to Moscow as revenge.
Didn't the England World Cup bidding committee give a gift of Mulberry handbags to the wives of all the FIFA delegates when trying to win the 2018 World Cup?
FIFA is a mafia organisation, Russia is a mafia state (I'm currently banned from travelling there), they are well suited to each other.
