“We’re the Soviet Union. We’re a single country,” another Russian passenger reportedly said.
I guess there are still plenty of Russians with that opinion. Sad.

Good, let's isolate them. They can visit Siberia if they want a vacation. North Korea is nice as well I bet.
What can these tourists realistically do, though? It's not like Russians haven't been protesting against the war and I'm pretty sure most people living in a dictatorship don't have much of an option anyway
They could start with not visiting a country their country invaded some years ago.
Although that's true, in that case I guess the issue is that exactly these tourists appear to be pro-war. For example, one Russian tourist said to a Georgian protester, "We are the Soviet Union. We are a single country".
I would bet any of the ones taking a cruise aren't using much (if any) of their resources to protest the war. Fuck them. If the bourgeoisie wants to be welcomed somewhere, they shouldn't let their nation become an enemy.
Siberia is very nice, takes eternity to explore, but Georgia is very nice too Any I don't understand why should I be isolated
Fools
The Russians who thought that they'd be welcome in Georgia of all places? Indeed.
