This is among the first of many deals Castro, Inc. has made with its new colonial master, Grand Putinia. It’s a weird one, for sure.
No word on who is paying for these trips to Cuba, which include time at the beach and medical check-ups for these Russian visitors. Knowing how Castro, Inc. operates, Russia will be footing the bill.

And I suppose they’ll be well fed at the spa. Just another slap in the face to the Cuban people.
Of course they’ll eat far better than ordinary Cubans, but Cubans are so used to being slapped in the face by the regime that they probably think it’s just a gust of wind or some such by now. It happens constantly.
