As Russian I'm very disappointed with those fellas. I doubt they have nobody who can help in Russia. Western Union, $750 for 2 tickets to Novosibirsk, from here they can take a train to Moscow. But looks like it is kind of beggars that we have on major transport hubs, who ask for money to buy tickets for years ????

It is sad. These are young and healthy men as well and don't seem to have anything better to do. So why not just walk? Follow the example of earlier compatriots like Roman von Ungern-Sternberg who achieved greatness via their daring and quest for adventure. Gather an army on your way home. Start liberating cities. Align with powerful radical Buddhist sects. Become warlords and living gods! Instead these guys are e-begging and probably posting about it to their social media accounts. Modernity is sapping the life force from our youth. Something needs to change.

A lot of posters here seem to think that they genuinely need money to get home. But this is just a scam.

This time it's Russians, but we've had several so called "tourists" begging for money in Bangkok before.  And they never went home , they lived in Thailand on donations from Thais and foreigners.  They will continue the scam as long as they can , and move on to the next place,
