But our limited research has shown problems for U.S. citizens, i.e, you have to go to Cancun or somewhere and "go dark" for a while you're in Cuba. Then there is the problem of health care or whatever problems may arise while you are there, i.e., without consulate protection. >From what I have read lately, with the new administration these problems may be lifted to some degree. What do you think about Russia et al.? I am looking at two prized Martha Casanave photos on the wall from Kiev. This was before 1990 and the KGB had damaged her Polaroid 35mm processor, thinking it was a spy device of some kind..but I think that is in the past so far. I have a number of clients in Russia and FSU states now, and so far, so good. Just a thought.
