Are Russian air carriers finished?
With all of the political turmoil going on in Russia, do you expect the Russian airlines to eventually discontinue service to the U.S. and Western Europe? For example, we have friends who were scheduled to take a ten day river cruise from Moscow to St. Petersburg in August and as of today previously planned cruise has just been cancelled due to the "civil unrest" in Russia? IMHO it's really a shame when legitimate revenue producing schemes may come to an end at a time when Russia seemed to be turning the corner. Mr. Yeltsin and Mr. Gorbachav, where are you?
