From the OPs original post, it appears that one of the drivers to go for Moscow is because it's an easy way to spend miles in F.

I don't understand why someone would go somewhere where they could potentially be prosecuted for being gay or because of their religion or race. Especially because of something as trivial as “because it’s a good way to spend miles in F”.

Particularly Russia. Whilst I understand that some countries still live in the dark ages and haven’t moved on with their anti-discrimination laws, I find appalling that we are talking about a country where discriminatory laws have recently been put in place. Why would you want to go and support the economy of a country that clearly doesn't want you there?
