Actually, Russia used to be a "parent" country to Cuba. They supplied Cuba with goods, etc. When the Communist party fell, the Russians pulled out of Cuba. If you have a record anywhere but Cuba, you will not have a problem in the Cuban airport. If you have a record in Cuba, as a previous Cuban resident, they check your history before issuing you a Visa and/or passport so you will either be denied entry or they will allow you to come and pick you up at the airport. Where you'll go from there, you can guess. If you are American, you can visit Cuba if you have an immediate family member on the island, but with a criminal record, I am unsure if you can travel there even with family on the island. If you have a criminal record, no matter how minor or how long ago the offense, you may be refused entry to the United States.

A record of what? Entering Cuba illegally? If so, you will be turned around.
If you mean a criminal record in Cuba, of course they will turn you around.
If you have a criminal record elsewhere, they may not do it, but you must make certain you obey the laws of the host country, whehter it's Cuba or any other country.
As long as you are a law abiding traveler, your visits will be welcome in any country. Violate the laws, and you will get more than a kick in the rear end.

I believe Cuba accepts almost everyone...
The Russian Mafia at one time frequented Cuba often, so much so allot of Cubans speak Russian.
I know you can even travel on a Russian Passport and they do not require any visas.
You can ask your travel agent what documents you need other than a passport to enter Cuba.

If you are a cuban that still has issues pending ( some people managed to leave in boats when the s... hit the fan.) then they lock you up, if you are not a cuban ,and you dont owe them nothing there is no reason , although they pretty much do whatever they like to , but mostly they try to leave foreing turists alone....

If you have a record in Cuba you'll probably hope they only turned you around. You'll probably end up in a Cuban jail.
If you are an American citizen don't even think about it.

They can pretty much turn you around for whatever they would like.
