In most cases, the period of residence in Russia for this category of foreigners ranges from 14 to 90 days. There are restrictions on the purpose of the visit - the trip must be non-commercial. For a long stay in the Russian Federation, such travelers will need a visa.
All other guests receive an entry document in general order. The standard procedure for opening a Russian visa is to collect the necessary documentation and submit it to a foreign representation of Russia or a visa center. The visa application is considered within 7-10 days, in some cases the procedure is delayed for several weeks. If the trip to Russia is of an emergency nature, for a fee, you can use the service of urgent registration of an entry permit. After a short wait, you need to visit the consulate or center for the second time and pick up the finished passport. Sometimes the issuance of an entry document is denied.
Refusal to extradite
A visa to Russia is not always issued. The reasons for refusal depend on various factors, but the main ones are:
Visa cost
The cost of a visa for each state is different. You can specify the amount of the fee at the Consular information portal(kdmid.ru) or the official website of the Russian diplomatic mission in a particular country.
For example, for US citizens, the fee is set at $ 160 when simple design and $250 for urgent issuance. This is the highest tariff for a Russian visa. The fee is set to reciprocity . Russians, applying for an American visa, pay similar amounts.
Valid term of a visa
A foreign guest is not entitled to stay in the Russian Federation for more than 90 days in a half-year, except for US citizens who can stay in the country for up to 6 months on a 3-year multivisa (under an agreement between the Russian Federation and the United States to simplify visa formalities for citizens of these countries). This does not apply to study and work visas when a long period of residence in Russia is expected. Such entry documents are issued for the period of study or employment (on the basis of a certificate of admission to a university or an employment contract).
Penalties
After the expiration of the entry document, the foreigner is obliged to leave Russia. But sometimes there are circumstances that prevent timely departure. If for some reason a foreigner did not leave the Russian Federation on time, then he will have to pay a fine and receive exit visa, otherwise they will not be released from the country.
Delay up to 3 days
In case of delay up to 3 days, a consular representative, who is available at all international airports, deals with the issue of exit visas. An exit visa with a delay of up to 3 days is issued on the spot, the fine is up to 5,000 rubles (paid at the airport terminal).
Delay more than 3 days
Difficulties will arise for guests who stay in Russia longer than 3 days. In such situations, the issue of leaving foreign traveler resolved in a court of law. If there are good reasons (serious illness, death of a relative, and so on), the case can be resolved without serious consequences (deportation or expulsion). An entry visa is issued if the court recognizes the violation of migration rules as valid, otherwise the foreigner will be deported, which will lead to a ban on entry into Russia for the next 3-5 years. Repeated violators of the visa regime can be detained and taken into custody pending a court decision.
Extension
To avoid trouble, you need to renew the entry document in a timely manner. To extend the visa, they apply to the FMS 20 days before the expiration date of the entry document and provide papers confirming the need for further residence in the Russian Federation. Prolongation is possible for a maximum of 10 days, provided that the total period of the guest's stay in Russia does not exceed 90 days. If unforeseen circumstances arise, for example, related to emergency treatment, the visa is extended for the time needed to resolve the issue.
Study visas are extended after the transition to the next course, work visas - at the conclusion of a new labor contract.
Registration
After obtaining a visa and crossing the borders of the Russian Federation, a foreigner is obliged to register at the Migration Service at the place of residence within 7 days. In the case of a guest visa, registration issues are handled by the inviting party, that is, the owner of the accommodation where the foreigner temporarily stayed. For this, a package of documents is submitted to the FMS.

1. Introduction
Contemporary Russian television impossible to imagine without analytical programs dedicated to major events in our country and beyond. Tens of millions of viewers, and this is the most active part of the country's population, give their preference to just such TV programs.
The main theme of the release of the analytical program is determined, as a rule, by the authors and presenters themselves. The opinion expressed by them may not coincide with the information policy of the channel, but this is the opinion of a professional observer, set out in an extremely correct and short form. Analyst correspondents are initially tasked not only to present reporting material, but to analyze the event, perhaps to predict its further development.
Non-standard approaches to the presentation of material, vivid plots make such TV programs more spectacular, emotional, and therefore interesting not only for adherents of information and analytical genres, but for all viewers in general.
However, in Lately more and more often you notice that on the “hottest” days for the country, there are simply no analytical programs on the air. This draws attention not only to the professional, but also to the political side of this problem. Some presenters generally made it a rule to use a purely informative, boring tongue twister, listing what has already been said many times.
Thus, preparing a worthy analytical program is not so easy as it might seem at first glance. It is important to take into account not only your own strengths, the relevance of a particular problem (or issue), the possibility of obtaining required material or facts, but also the real needs of society.
Today, when the country faces the problem of mobilizing the nation, not only what the TV presenters will talk about on the screen, but also their moral authority will be of great importance for viewers.

Overview of modern analytics on Russian television,
Characteristics and analysis of the program "Man and Law",
Determining the place of this program in a number of others,
Evaluation of the TV show "Man and the Law" in terms of the journalistic skills of the author and presenter - Alexei Pimanov,

The topic presented in this course work is quite relevant today. Millions of viewers prefer the genre of analytics.
In this regard, our main task is to understand the variety of television programs of an analytical nature and to give an objective assessment of the program "Man and Law".
The construction of the course work provides the user with the opportunity, without reading the entire text, to directly extract the necessary information using the content.

His hobbies are political science, history and sports. Plays hockey and tennis.
3. Program "Man and Law"
3.1 General characteristics
The socio-political program “Man and Law” has been broadcast on the main TV channel of the country for 35 years (Alexey Pimanov has been hosting the program since 1996). So " old age» does not prevent the program from remaining one of the most popular and relevant on domestic television. Perhaps because the main topics are the fight against organized crime, investigations of corruption in the highest echelons of power, and criminal stories.
The program tries to give a balanced assessment of the most important events in the political, economic and social life country, covers a huge range of issues and problems that a person has to face every day, not only from a legal point of view, but also from the standpoint of universal morality.
That is why "Man and the Law", focusing on the ordinary viewer, constantly monitors the fate of its permanent hero - ordinary person caught in the pincers of injustice and lawlessness.
The program "Man and Law" continues to develop within the framework of the last years stylistics. Sharp “social” reporting by Alexander Karpov, foreign scandals by Alexander Senatorov, “ human stories”(often with a criminal past or present) by Oksana Sviridova, materials from the series“ a journalist changes profession ”by Rustem Davydov, analytical comments and special reports by Petr Gulenko, current journalistic investigations by host Alexei Pimanov.
Alexey Pimanov loves to invite guests to the studio of the Man and the Law program. These are the main newsmakers of the week, politicians, representatives of law enforcement agencies and law enforcement, well-known journalists with their not always “convenient” investigations, VIPs known throughout the country who, through no fault of their own, got into a big mess (whether it was incorrectly issued copyrights, protection of honor and dignity, or provoked by an accident).
The basic rule of the program is as old as the world: first-hand information and only proven facts.
In the new season, the program "Man and the Law" has changed a bit. The changes affected, in particular, the introduction of a new section, in which a story about the best investigation week, published in the domestic media, which reveals the details of the topic. Such stories are now published in every issue of the Man and the Law program.
This is a unique video version of each investigation, which includes “behind-the-scenes footage” describing, for example, what threats were made against the journalist and from whom, as well as what obstacles were placed on him and by whom. Furthermore, we invite authors of high-profile publications to face-to-face meetings with opponents. The viewer becomes a direct eyewitness to the development of events.
Moreover, the program "Man and the Law" is not limited to a narrow range of topics. The plots are devoted to anything - from politics to football. The weekly release cycle does not prevent the program from responding as quickly as possible to the most topical events in the life of the country.
A certain club of investigative journalists has been created around the program. However, I would like to note that those who call the program "Man and the Law" criminal are very mistaken. The display of corpses, the flashing of police sirens in the frame and the bloody plots created counting on the outcasts - this is not the goal for the presenter Alexei Pimanov.
3.2 Journalistic skills of A. Pimanov
Some reviews of A. Pimanov's journalistic investigations leave a bitter aftertaste. When they are characterized as "harassing journalism" or "black PR", it becomes very unpleasant. It's a shame for a really good program.
In terms of the way of thinking and the accuracy of its presentation with A. Pimanov, today it is quite difficult to compare another full-time television analyst, moreover, Pimanov's presentation is very figurative, non-standard.
He does not just comment on the problem, phenomenon, event of our life, but carefully examines it with the involvement of several diverse sources.
The Russian journalist, producer, director and TV host Alexei Viktorovich Pimanov is known throughout the country. His author's project "Man and the Law" gathers millions of people at the screens.
