The new FORM 80, that will be required for all visas applicants to complete is 6 pages long and is the Governments answer to the war on terrorism and features comprehensive screening questions of character for all applicants and there family background. For Russians, the patronymic name will be required, all places of residence and travel to all countries within the past 10 years, full details of brothers, sisters and parents, full details of all criminal offences whether convicted or not and many other personal questions to screen an applicants back ground including visits to Arabic or Muslim countries and the facts will be checked. The screening process will become onerous to screen out "potential terrorists or associations with terrorist organisations or groups" and anything else the Government considers unsavoury. Good luck for people wanting to get a fiance visa for a Russian/Ukraine/FSU women.
