Also, I must return to my job and be there when my classes resume at the University. I couldn\u2019t leave now because I didn&#8217;t have the means to buy the ticket,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Ricardo tried to change his ticket from one airline to another and it was not possible. If he canceled, it would take Aeroflot too long to return the money, so he had no choice but to stay on land and wait for the border to open and flights to restart, which apparently won\u2019t happen before August. \u201cI arrived for a month and it seems I\u2019ll be here for at least six,\u201d he said worried.<\/p>\n<p>For others, the situation is much more tragic and the return even farther away. Many Cubans couldn\u2019t even dream of boarding this flight. They\u2019ve been in Russia longer than allowed and have not been able to regularize their immigration status, which is complicated in times of pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>Idalmis Moreno knows this well, trapped with her family in a bureaucratic maze to which, at the moment, she sees no way out. \u201cAlthough there is an order from Putin that you can work without special permits while the pandemic lasts, the reality is that no one hires immigrants. In our case, to return we must pay not only the plane ticket, but the fine for being over time, plus the extension of the passport. There is no money for that,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"fFYpv1qTri\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/cuba\/moscu-no-cree-en-lagrimas-cubanos-varados-en-rusia\/\">Mosc\u00fa no cree en l\u00e1grimas: cubanos varados en Rusia<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"\u00abMosc\u00fa no cree en l\u00e1grimas: cubanos varados en Rusia\u00bb \u2014 OnCubaNews\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/cuba\/moscu-no-cree-en-lagrimas-cubanos-varados-en-rusia\/embed\/#?secret=wfqtbb5XI8#?secret=fFYpv1qTri\" data-secret=\"fFYpv1qTri\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Among the cases with a happy end is that of Yunior S\u00e1nchez, from Havana, who initially had a return ticket to Cuba for April 23. When he was surprised by the border closure, without resources, he was forced to live for several days in the same airport from where he has now taken off. \u201cI am diabetic and I spent several days without eating,\u201d he said to <em>Sputnik<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>During these months, he ended up in the hospital several times. \u201cI survived thanks to good people who helped me with shelter and food.\u201d Now, with the support of a relative, Yunior has managed to go home.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The strength of solidarity<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One of the people who supported Yunior the most is Anna Voronkova, a young Russian woman who, along with Pedro Luis Garc\u00eda from Havana, has devoted herself to giving a hand to hundreds of Cubans in Moscow who are in a desperate situation due to the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey called me to translate when the Muslim Foundation Casa de la Bondad started giving aid to Cubans. I myself was stranded in Argentina in 2010 due to the earthquake in Chile, so I identified a lot with the Cubans I\u2019ve met.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Upon learning of the special flight, Anna contacted Veronika Birman, a Russian tourism businesswoman who has dedicated herself to helping her compatriots stranded in other countries return to Russia.<\/p>\n<p>The initiative was supported by Maria Zakharova, spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry, who made her team available to work in coordination with Veronika and other volunteers. Thus, they have been able to collaborate so that hundreds of Russians in situations of need return home. They still have about 60 pending cases.<\/p>\n<p>But she was not indifferent to the situation of the Cubans. \u201cI discovered that not only the Russians suffer for not being able to return. Our homeland is also a foreign land for someone,\u201d she said. In this way, they tried to help at least four Cubans whose lives could be endangered in case of falling ill with coronavirus. Three with chronic pathologies and one pregnant.<\/p>\n<p>After many efforts, three of them managed to get on the plane with humanitarian tickets at half price. \u201cAzur Air\u2019s support was decisive, and specifically Anastasia Dyumulen, director of the airline\u2019s Information and Communications Policy Department. She helped us a lot with the Cubans,\u201d said Birman.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe tried to get those four and even more to go. The company and the Russian Foreign Ministry were willing to consider the possibility of giving some free humanitarian places, but it was not possible to coordinate in time due to misunderstandings with another involved party,\u201d Voronkova explained to <em>Sputnik<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Flying home<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A total of 170 passengers are now flying over the Atlantic. Of them, about 80 will stay in Havana, according to Azur Air sources.<\/p>\n<p>The rest, citizens of Brazil, Argentina and Chile, will continue their trip to Sao Paulo, Buenos Aires and Santiago. The plane will return to Moscow on June 6 with Russian citizens stranded in those countries.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"es\" dir=\"ltr\">Arribar\u00e1 hoy a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/LaHabana?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#LaHabana<\/a> donativo del Gobierno de la Federaci\u00f3n de <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Rusia?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Rusia<\/a> para contribuir a la batalla de <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Cuba?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Cuba<\/a> contra  <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Covid_19?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Covid_19<\/a>.
