Isn't money without principle? To me, Putin is a criminal, and I'm not looking to support him. At the same time I have great regard for the accomplishments of the Russian people, and feel a lot of connection to them because we are northern people and neighbours over the pole. But, regardless of my affection for them as neighbours I can't bring myself to support such a criminal regime. I know I'm a tiny minority when you see every major cruise line in the world featuring overnight stays in St. Petersburg.
