Only point-and-shoot cameras will be allowed on Red Square and in Alexander Garden. The FSO (Federal Protective Service) has introduced new rules for visiting areas "adjacent to the Kremlin." As a source in the presidential administration told Kommersant, the ban is aimed at people doing advertising shoots. "It is a disgrace when, in the heart of the country, a person dressed as a hamburger is walking around and being photographed with the Kremlin in the background," the source told the paper. *Police and FSO officers guarding Red Square inspect the equipment of anyone taking photographs on Red Square and around the Kremlin, and if the gear does not meet the specifications set out in the order, they instruct them to stop shooting and delete the images. *http://www.kommersant.ru/doc.aspx?DocsID=854519&NodesID=7 It would be nice if someone explained to the presidential administration staff that Photoshop exists, and that if someone wants to, they can make a picture of a hamburger strolling around Red Square regardless of any security service. And anyway, since when does the FSO get to set the rules for visiting Red Square and dictate the maximum lens length photographers can use? Is this really a top-tier security priority? You can photograph the White House with a telescope if you like, and nobody cares. Even though there are obviously more people who'd like to take a shot at the American president than at ours.
