Tourism minister Harin Fernando told Daily Mirror that the ministry has been receiving complaints of some Russian tourists running unregistered and illegal businesses in the southern part of the country.

Raids were conducted by the authorities following discussions with the Immigration Department, he said.

It comes amid a furious social media backlash over Russian-run businesses with a “whites only” policy that strictly bars locals. These businesses include bars, restaurants, water sports and vehicle hiring services.

Yeah I'd want to deport that too.

Imagine the arrogance of leaving your country to avoid military service only to run a clandestine racist tourism business in your host country

It takes an extra special kind of asshole, and apparently Russia is #1 in breeding them.
