Upon further reading, I guess what this actually happened was that by the letter of the law Americans couldn't legally go to Russia, because the FSB controls their border patrol. So anytime anyone paid a visa fee, they were technically violating sanctions. The Obama administration started work on this fix a month or so ago. So not a big deal, but the fact that everyone was freaking out, because we all expect that our president is colluding with the Russians is telling enough.
