My guess would be that every EU country that leans nowadays right has a 'Cyprus problem'. Principles, holding right-wing ideology alive, don't value human lives nor cooperation but rather money. So it needs a lot of financing to raise to the surface. Secondly it's a perfect divider - we all know the phrase 'divide and conquer'. It sites perfectly with imperialists asperations. When Brexit campaign started all I could see was Russian money. It's wired that no one talked about it, I don't want to believe that there aren't people in UK that follow Russia.

Now do a report about Western oligarchs, thank you

I am not suggesting Cyprus is not such a spot, but it is a tiny player compared to the BIG masters of the money-laundering community, aka UK and its dominions, Luxemburg, etc.

This Cyprus Minister is thrilled to be receiving Russian money. Why would any struggling country deny Russian deposits unless they are heavily sanctioned by the USA.

I moved to live in Cyprus in 2018. All this money brought here by the oligarchs has artificially inflated property prices, so it’s becoming increasingly difficult to buy or rent affordable, decent properties. There are huge luxury mansions standing empty, presumably passport properties. There also seems to be a perception here that properties are worth more than they actually are. So there are many houses for sale that don’t get buyers, and many villas selling for 3m plus that very few locals (or even standard expats) could ever afford to buy. The property market is essentially geared towards rich foreigners. The impact of dirty money coming onto the island is far ranging and can affect residents in many ways.

The reason greeks ever had a relationship with Russia is because the ultra religious felt a connection as an “orthodox brotherhood” between the two people. Besides this, Cyprus also has had a problem with communists in government who would be Russia/Soviet Union fanboys which is the reason the US supported Turkey in the 1974 invasion of Cyprus(essentially just supporting the side who had a lower chance to become communist). Due to this, short-sighted Cypriots who saw the Turkish army with US support committing genocide and war crimes while invading their island became very anti-west. It’s a problem us Greek Cypriots still face as those who see Russia for who they are, a shell of the Soviet Union who are doing to Ukraine what Turkey did to us are fighting against the misguided Greek Cypriots who still retain some sort of loyalty and admiration towards Russia and the current regime.
