Best get those Kawasaki 1000cc motor bikes warmed up and ready crash.

Best get the potatoes & pastry dumplings .....  and some Vodka in. 

I bet they're happy to be in warm Phuket!  Incredibly cold there right now, Baikal.  But what a beautiful part of the world.

Geographic cretinism. Chernobyl in the UA. And it is so far from the Irkutsk,. Even the London is closer.

Sorry local Phuketians, the peace is over

I don't think the place will be overloaded with Russians just yet; there were more flights per day two years ago than there are per week now.

 

Also, the article conveniently forgot to mention that Russia isn't on the list of countries applicable for new scheme, so sandbox rules still apply.
