Ay! The oligarchs at Castro, Inc.’s Ministry of Apartheid Tourism must be feeling plenty of discomfort after reading the latest report from Russian tour operators.

The Russkies report that they find Cuba’s apartheid tourist enclaves way too expensive and less inviting than other tropical destinations. All this, despite the fact that Cuba has just become one of their colonies.

This means, of course, that Castro, Inc. won’t be able to rely on Russian tourists to revive their moribund apartheid tourist industry, as previously hoped.
