You are completely biased. That's not even open to discussion.

You must be right - these tour companies must have all been scams. The fact that four of them shut down at the same time is purely coincidence.

I mean, nothing like the company President blaming in the travel ban of State employees:

Prior to Neva's bankruptcy, the company's president Maxim Pirogov told news agencies the tour operator's revenues had fallen sharply because of the ban." Over the first half of the year our revenues slumped 25 percent, among other reasons due to the regulation put on state employees traveling abroad," Pirogov told news agency RIA Novosti.

Straight out of the Moscow Times too.

Seems Russia is having some issues with airlines too. But that must be coincidence, right?

Well, there is an outright ban on travel by all government officials. This is 3% of the Russian population. However, this tour agency was created by a former state employee, and 75% of their customers are state employees.
