A British journalist barred from Russia last week after reporting on Wikileaks cables containing criticism of Russia's leadership has been allowed to return.
The Guardian newspaper's Moscow correspondent Luke Harding had reported on US cables describing Russia as a "virtual mafia state".
Authorities refused permission to re-enter the country citing administrative problems linked to his accreditation.
The move was condemned by the British government.
Moscow's foreign ministry had said he had broken media rules but could be re-admitted to the country.
Mr Harding told news agency AFP on Sunday that he was back in Moscow in an email. The Foreign Press Association said he returned on Saturday with a new visa and his accreditation was ready.
