TV-crew headed by Zbigniew Szczesny from the Polish Public TV-channel was last moment refused entry visas to Russia. TV-men were planning to shoot a 50-minutes-long documentary film about Ustuu-Khuree Festival of live music in Tuva. They submitted the needed documents to the Russian Foreign Office but the visas were not issued without any explanation. One can guess that the Polish film-makers fell victims to the deteriorating relations between Russia and Poland. President Kwasniewski's words “Ukraine without Russia is better than Ukraine with Russia” uttered in the times of the 'Orange Revolution' were not forgotten.
