I Had No Idea That ‘Sri Lanka’ Now Has Russian Enclaves — One Called ‘Little Moscow’.

From ‘Google News‘.

I thought that it was just the Chinese and Indians that were carving up Sri Lanka. But, I have no visibility as to what happens in what was the country of my birth — 71 years ago. I left in 1967 & last visited in 1992. So, I only glean occasional tidbits from what I see on the news. That was the case today. I happened to see the ‘BBC‘ post about this ‘White Party’, in Sri Lanka, in my ‘Google News’ feed. (2nd story in the image above.)

I was amazed. In my days there were no Russians, other than a few at the embassy and some NGOs, living in Ceylon. In those most Russians weren’t allowed to leave the country.

I don’t think this is good. But, no skin off my nose. I have no skin in Sri Lanka. Just feel bad.
