Wear can I go?

Post date: 2020-08-12 22:16:23

I am a US passport holder. I am in Russia on a visa and need to leave by Sept 15th. I will need to reenter as my family is here. Where can I find info on where I can go?

So I'm starting to freak out a little bit because this whole situation is F'ed up due to Corona. I moved with my fiance and our 2 (dual citizen) kids to Russia. He is a Russian citizen. I am on a personal visa that is good for another 2 years, but per the terms I need to leave at least every 6 months and that time is coming up September 15th (this is actually over my 6 months, but Russia granted a blanket extension back in July). We were supposed to get married, but I need a document notorized by the US Embassy in Moscow and those services are suspended indefinitely so I'm in limbo.
I'm having trouble figuring out where I can even go. I'm hoping I can go somewhere in Europe and stay in an airport hotel for a few nights and come right back. Are there any countries that will accept a non EU person travelling from Russia? It looks like maybe Ireland, but I can't figure out if the quarantine restriction means I would need to stay there a full 2 weeks or if I could just stay 2 or 3 days and going back to Russia.
I can't get info on entry restrictions to come back. IT seems like if you can get a flight in to Moscow and have a visa, you're good? I suspect that Russia doesn't want people coming in for the US because there aren't any direct flights? I don't really want to go back to the US right now, but if I must the situation compounds because I'd probably have to take the kids with me.

So basically my question is where can a US citizen go with no visa, travelling from Russia, stay for a few days, and face no restriction reenterring Russia (except self quarantine which I will do anyway).
