To hop on a plane and AirBnB, you also have to, you know, book a ticket and a room. The level planning required is similar in scope to that, it's just unfamiliar to those of us privileged enough to live in countries that are largely permit visa-less travel. To the rest of the world, getting a visa is every bit a central to foreign travelling as booking a flight.
(.. leading to situations such as once when ... my friend ... had to cancel a trip to India last minute because he hadn't thought to apply for a visa.)

It's not difficult at all to get a Swedish travel visa (Or any European travel visa). We've got plenty of Russian tourism here.
It's not but it still requires some planned effort beforehand, as opposed to just hopping on a plane & airbnb.
The event is sufficiently in the future so this is feasible, tho.
