Well Russian travelers preferentail treatment while applying for European visas has been cancelled, so now they have to wait for visas like everyone else. So things are getting pretty serious.

"Russian citizens can still obtain Schengen visas to travel to Europe, but they may face a more challenging application process and potentially higher refusal rates. The EU has suspended the Visa Facilitation Agreement with Russia, meaning Russian citizens no longer enjoy preferential treatment when applying for visas"
