Whereas its also not the average 'Russian on the Street's' fault either, you're going to probably run into a lot of Russians in Cuba, I dont know how thats going to feel for you.
The actual people dont have a whole hell of a lot of control regarding the direction of their nations.

Yeah, my wife knows about the UN vote and kind of shrugged it off. We've been to plenty of places with Russian tourists (pre-war) and she actually finds comfort in hearing her language. She's already said she doesn't care if Russians are there with us, as long as they don't start confronting her if they find out where she is from. There will be a bunch of my family with us, so not too worried about it. Also her 1st time being to the Caribbean and is looking forward to it immensely. Just...disappointing to hear of Cuba's decision, but not surprising given decades of a useless embargo.
