I don't really understand why someone would want to emigrate from Cuba to Russia in the first place, and certainly not die in a war for the privilege.
People are leaving Cuba for Haiti (not many, but some), others for Surinam, Nicaragua and Guyana. The only point is to get out, it almost doesn't matter the destination
watch Kurt Kaz episodes about life on Cuba, and find out the reason.
Can you give us a brief explanation?
alas, no. these videos are a journey, not facts
You hope an American volunteer gets murdered?
Thank you for advocating for the murder of volunteers from my country serving Ukraine and acting like a child when confronted about it. I'm sure me and other users' opinion of your country has improved significantly and are more open to renegotiating embargoes.
It's almost not the embargo. It's the Cuban government behavior. They're just criminals who manage a state-monopolistic capitalist country.
It has never been real socialism, but now it's very far from it, with the state only investing (wasting) money for building big hotels where no one go (occupation around 20% in high season across the island) and leaving population in hanger and without any basic public service.
Meanwhile the new little (till 250 employees) private companies import anything from anywhere through corruption, reselling goods at crazy prices that only rich cubans can achieve. No embargo does not exist for them. While society gap is everyday higher.
Can't say embargo doesn't play a role, but it's more a cover for bad management.
There's no embargo with Europe, and plenty of companies may don't give a shit about exporting to US, while Cuba could have been a big market. But this didn't happen. Why?
Simply because the state has no money, and waste the ones it has.
Have you been to Russia? Things are worse than Cuba
