Russia has introduced border control at the air border with Belarus, which is the last "proof" of the existence of the ephemeral Union State of Moscow and Minsk.

The corresponding opinion in the blog for Espreso was expressed by Ukrainian journalist Vitaly Portnikov.

"Prior to this decision, the arrival to Moscow from Minsk was no different from the arrival from St. Petersburg or Kaliningrad. Foreigners who flew to Moscow or other Russian cities from the Belarusian capital, passed border control in Minsk and used the domestic sector of airports. Russians or Belarusians did not meet with border guards at all, "writes Portnikov.

According to him, now it is necessary to present passports to all. Formally, border control will affect only residents of "third countries", but it will not be possible to distinguish a resident of Russia or Belarus from a Ukrainian or a Pole without a passport.

"This is an excellent proof that no post-Soviet integration - despite the loud statements of its participants - will not. And the new Soviet Union - no matter how it is called - will not be. The one who says the opposite is a shameless liar. And this liar should just now be sent to the Russian-Belarusian border. Walk without a passport, "- concluded Portnikov.
