Obviously, yes, I didn't mean Czechoslovakia, I know they are part of EU now. But I am pretty sure that Belarus didn't change too much, and Russia(especially in the Kaliningrad Oblast, while crossing from Poland) is the same as it used to be.

Indeed, these are probably similar. I had a friend travel relatively recently to Russia, Ukraine and the zone and he says that although he didn't suffer anything odd, the general feeling around borders was... tense.

I guess the game could be classified as dystopian for its day-to-day change in the regulations and permits needed... It kind of makes it into a mock of the "real" strong border policy of some of these countries (and many others around the world)
