Oh no, the uncultured russkies are coming again....hope they keep their mafia boyfriends at home, so that they don't steal our land from us. Russkies worship power and money around the world....everyone has caught up to them, only it has been too late for them. I hope it is not too late for our Goa. I hate to generalize but the facts speak for themselves sadly. Some non-Goan tourism idiot must be promoting this.
