16th Annual meeting of the European Venous Forum, in collaboration with the St Petersburg Society Phlebology
Holiday Inn Hotel, St Petersburg, Russia
Thursday 2 July – Saturday 4 July 2015
Dear friends and colleagues,
On behalf of European Venous Forum and Saint-Petersburg Venous Forum we have the honour to invite you
to the forthcoming EVF 2015, which will be held in the historical centre of Saint-Petersburg, universally recognized as
the cultural and scientific capital of Russia.
The dynamic progress of phlebology in the last decades impelled us to speak almost all languages. The
European Venous Forum (EVF) harmoniously fits into the list of the most important international meetings devoted
to venous disorders and gather not only phlebologists but many other doctors and specialists. Trauma surgeons,
gynaecologists, internists, general surgeons, haematologists, morphologists, general practitioners and cosmetologists
become more and more interested in pathophysiology, diagnostics and treatment of venous disorders.
At the beginning of the June during the famous white nights of Saint-Petersburg will share with you the
magnificence of its palaces and parks, Hermitage Brilliant Hall and the unique Amber Room. We are planning to
organize cultural events for participants as well as for their relatives and friends who are often unfairly forsaken at the
time of hot scientific discussions. Saint-Petersburg's beautiful suburbs and tours through rivers and channels will
present you the fascinating world where stones, water and classical music represent a unique harmony.
We expect about 400 delegates from all over the world. Debates in all fields of modern phlebology are
anticipated. The scientific committee has already started the careful selection of valuable studies advancing our
understanding of the pathogenesis and treatment of venous disorders. Certainly, the best studies from national
phlebology associations will be included.
Presentations in the following sections will be subjected to a stimulating discussion and constructive criticism.
- acute venous thrombosis and post thrombotic syndrome
- minimally invasive endovascular techniques in phlebology
- conservative treatment of deep vein thrombosis
- deep vein reconstructive surgery
- venotonic drugs
- compression therapy
Didactic sessions will be combined with lectures by leading specialists in the field. The Key-Note lecture of
Professor Bo Eklof who has been leading our attempts to develop phlebology in the world for many years will become
the bright quintessence of the scientific programme.
The traditional gala-dinner will take place in Peterhof. After the tour of the Great Palace the beautiful world of
Peter the Great fountains will open for us to the sound of classical music. Besides the award ceremony for the best
oral presentations two gold medals established by the Saint-Petersburg Society of Phlebologists will be granted for the
"Best achievements in phlebology".
Dear friends, we live in the wonderful time of changes when the world becomes more democratic and
multipolar. I truly believe that the art of medicine should gather people of all races and nations for the sake of
peaceful progress. We invite you to participate in EVF-2015 to discuss major problems of phlebology, communicate in
informal atmosphere and become imbued with the beauty and glory of one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
Sincerely,
Evgeny Shaydakov
President-Elect
Andrew Nicolaides

Peterhof is located on the Southern coast of the Gulf of Finland, 29 kilometres away from St. Petersburg. Here a small house for
Peter the Great was built in 1705, where the Tsar could take a rest on his way from Kronstadt to St. Petersburg. In 1714 the Emperor
made a decision to turn Peterhof into his main out-of-town residence. In the 18th and 19th centuries a grandiose complex of eleven
parks, dozens of buildings, and a pavilion with more than 200 fountains and numerous sculptures was formed in the area of over
1000 hectares. The Grand Palace built for Elizabeth in baroque style is a composition at the centre of the Ensemble. The Grand
Fountain Cascade, which is unique both technically and artistically, form a decorative pedestal for the Palace. The Grand Cascade
embellished with numerous fountains, gilded statues, bas-relief, and vases is crowned with the sculpture group known as Samson
Tears Open the Lions Jaws, which is dedicated to the victory of Russia in the Northern War.

Tourist information
Website http://.visit-petersburg.ru/
Electricity
The city’s electric system provides the 220 Volt/50 Hertz voltage. At some hotels, however, you may require a
“European” plug, as many of the more modern buildings or hotels that have undergone major renovations have
switched to European sockets.
An adapter is also advisable.
Climate
Petersburg’s climate is almost maritime in character. The influence of the cold Baltic Sea can be felt in both the winter
and the summer – the air is always moist (relative humidity is rarely below 80%), meaning that the temperature is felt
in an entirely different way from, say, Moscow. Minus 10 degrees Celsius in the winter usually feels very cold while
25 degrees Celsius in the summer feels very hot. The situation is further complicated by the strong winds and
frequent rains that are characteristic of St. Petersburg. The length of the day in a city that is located on the 60ths
parallel is entirely dependent on the time of year: in June it is light for almost the entire day, while in November and
December it is dark by five in the evening.

Appendix 2:
Visas:
Please check with the Embassy/Consulate in your country of residence for details of the entry
requirements for Russia, as they may vary for different countries.
Obtaining a Russian Visa
All foreign guests who plan to visit Russia must have a valid passport and be issued with a visa from the Russian
Consulate.
There are three steps to gain a Russian Visa:
•
Receipt of an invitation from your Hotel for the duration of your stay.
•
Obtaining the visa from the Russian consulate in the country of residence.
•
Registration of the visa on arrival to Russia – (usually at your Hotel).
Visa – is the official permission to enter and transit the Russian Federation which is given by the Consulate of Russia,
in the country of residence of the foreign citizen.
The Visa has to contain this information: surname, name (in Russian and Latin letters), date of birth, gender,
nationality, number of the passport, date of visa issue, duration of stay in Russia, number of invitation, aim of the
visit, name of the receiving party, (Hotel), type of visa required.
TOURIST VISA
You can obtain a hotel voucher after you have booked the hotel. This is “Tourist Visa” support form.
•
Book the Hotel through online registration.
•
Request a tourist visa support
•
Send us Altaastra, a copy of your passport ([email protected]).
•
The Organizing Committee can send you a tourist visa support, (hotel voucher) with which you can apply for
the Russian tourist visa.
•
The price for this service is 30 Euro.
This is the cheapest and the swiftest way to obtain the visa; issued to people visiting Russia with a non-business
status. The Tourist visa is valid for single entry and it is impossible to extend this type of visa.
For obtaining this type of visa, you are required to obtain two documents (confirmation of booking and voucher from
the hotel) in which it states the dates of stay and the name of the hotel.
NB! When completing the application form for the Russian visa you must write the aim of the visit to RussiaTOURISM.
The timescale for obtaining this tourist invitation – is 5 working days.
The price for this service – is 30 Euro’s.
On arrival to Russia
To enter Russia the foreign citizen must have a valid visa, crossing the border – the migration service will stamp your
visa. All foreigners have to complete a migratory card.
Migratory card – a small blank card divided into two parts, with information of: name, surname, date of birth,
number of passport, nationality, dates of staying in Russia. You have to complete both parts. The first part, you will
leave on entry to Russia, the second part, must be stamped at the hotel and then on departure will be submitted to the
migration service.
21
Due to Russian laws every foreign citizen must register their visa (if staying on the territory of The Russian Federation
for more than three days). This registration can be obtained in any hotel or by invitation from an organisation.
This registration is very important. If the foreigner does not register – then he will have to pay a penalty 2000 roubles
which will cause a problem with the migration service on the board of Russian Federation.
The hotel can register the visa but only for the duration of your stay at the hotel.
Conditions of entry to Russia
•
The validity of passport must be more than 6 months after the end of the trip.
•
In possession of valid tickets for departure or another trip
•
Russian visa
•
No need for vaccination
NB! If you need the original tourist or business invitation from the Consulate of Russia- all expenses (post service for
the express delivery of the document) will be an additional payment.
Visas: Website information: UK
Please access this website for updated information: https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/russia/entryrequirements
From 10 December 2014 Russian diplomatic missions and the visa application centres in London and Edinburgh will
collect biometric data (scanned fingerprints) from visa applicants above the age of 12. This applies to each Russian
entry or transit visa application.
For further information see the Russian Embassy website (http://www.rusemb.org.uk/consnews/31) and the website
of VFS Global http://www.vfsglobal.com/) who manage Russian visa applications on behalf of the Embassy. Tourist
visa applications can take 10 working days to be processed, and longer during busy periods.
Web Information for US Citizens
To access updated information please visit: http://travel.state.gov/content/passports/english/country/russia.html
You can find general visa information for Russia, but U.S. citizens should contact the Embassy of the Russian
Federation website: http://www.russianembassy.org/page/russian-consulates-in-the-u-s) for the most up to date
information regarding visa regulations and requirements.
Information for Visa Registration
According to the Russian Legislation, your visa must be registered within 7 business days upon arrival to the Russian
Federation.
While staying in a hotel, the Hotel is obliged to register all the foreign citizens during their accommodation. A
nominal registration fee may be assessed.
The cost of the Hotel service of registration at Holiday Inn Moskovskie, Vorota for the foreign citizens is 3 EUR per
person. The Hotel reserves the right to increase the registration charge for foreign citizens in case of changes in the
legislation of RF.
If you stay at a private apartment, your visa is to be registered by your Russian host. The host needs to apply at the
local police precinct or post office, fill out at:
http://www.visatorussia.com/shareweb/common/visa_registration_attach/$FILE/ArrivalNotice.pdf> notification form
and enclose a copy of your passport (photo and visa pages) and migration card. Your host will also have to present
his passport registered at the same apartment. The experience shows that getting registered through the post is less
troublesome and time-consuming than at the police station.
22
Please note that not registering your Russian visa may lead to serious problems: you may be stopped by police, fined,
be made non-eligible to get a Russian visa in the future, etc. We strongly advise you to register your Russian visa to
avoid possible consequences. It is also very important to register in time.
