Paris commented on the situation with the "royal debts" of Russia

110
Over the past few days, several materials have appeared in the French press at once that French citizens have filed lawsuits against Russia regarding the payment of “debts”. We are talking about citizens who are descendants of the holders of bonds of the so-called royal loans. The descendants have their own association. And now members of this association are demanding payments from the Russian Federation, which ultimately can be up to 30 billion euros.

At the same time, French media say that the court is unlikely to “be able to oblige Russia to pay such an amount.” The fact is that earlier the Russian Federation repaid its debts (plus debts of the Russian Empire and the USSR) to France, in the sum of which were about a third of billions of euros specifically for tsar's loans.



For reference: the French association of imperial loans holders (talking about loans for building a railway in Russia in the 19th century) includes up to 400 thousand people. Almost Napoleonic army ...

RIA Newsreferring to the Ministry of Economy of France, reports that after the payments made by Russia, the official Paris cannot demand that Moscow pay off “pre-revolutionary private debts”.

Paris commented on the situation with the "royal debts" of Russia


From the statement of the ministry official:
Intergovernmental disputes between the French Republic and the Russian Federation on the issue of "Russian loans" were eliminated by signing 27 on May 1997 of the agreement between the two countries, on which France and Russia mutually refuse all financial debts that arose between them before 9 on May 1945, and refrain from supporting the claims of their citizens related to these debts.


At the same time, it is added that it also cannot prohibit its citizens from filing claims against Russia.

According to some information, the French owners of the Russian tsarist bonds tried to make demands even in the period of the existence of the USSR. However, in the Land of the Soviets, it was quickly explained that there could be no question of any redemption of “royal” debts by the Soviet government and Soviet citizens.

                  France acknowledged that Russia has transferred 50 millions of dollars in repayment of debt on the so-called "royal" securities. Thus, the amount of debt agreed in 1996 by Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin and his French counterpart Lionel Jospin in 1996 was fully paid.

              In 1997, Russia fully paid all the debts of the Republic of Ingushetia to French citizens in relation to the agreed amount. And this despite the fact that Russia is neither the successor nor the assignee of the Republic of Ingushetia, that is, it was not even our bonds and our problems.

      "b) They say that the stumbling block in improving the economic ties between the USSR and the bourgeois states is the issue of debts. I think this is not an argument for paying debts, but an excuse in the hands of aggressive elements for interventionist propaganda. Our policy in this area is clear and Subject to the provision of loans to us, we agree to pay a small share of pre-war debts, considering them as an additional interest on loans. Without this condition, we cannot and should not pay. They demand more from us? On what basis? Is it not known that these the debts were made by the tsarist government, which was overthrown by the revolution and for the obligations of which the Soviet government cannot take responsibility? slavery to romanian boyars? What international obligations do capitalists and governments did the tvs of France, England, America, Japan attacked the USSR, intervened, robbed him for three whole years and ruined its population?

      The Western world since its inception has lived at the expense of someone: robbed, robbed, extorted. Starting from Carthage, lived at the expense of others. The turn came to the very West.

      Citizens of France demand redemption of bonds, where "extorted" here? If demanded as the Latvians for the occupation, I would agree with you.
      In Russia, the proverb is "Debt by payment is beautiful," and bonds are debt.

        There is never and never was a guarantee of 100% repayment of debt, there is always a risk of loss, all usurious activity is built on this risk. The French financed one state, but this state disappeared. In essence, Russia, this is the third formation, after the Russian Empire, especially since Russia symbolically repaid this debt and France agreed to repayment. We are talking about the Western mentality of a person when his own is sacred, and the alien is insignificant. This is a phenomenon of the same order, one mentality, that Latvians, Poles, and now the French have also shown their mugs. There is not even a hint of justice and decency in the West and that’s all (Yugoslavia, Kosovo, Crimea, turbines for thermal power plants, fascists on the streets with torches .............

    The dog is buried very deeply and the problem is global for us. And consider this with French debt. In the 19th century, the French citizen was quite rich and preferred to live on rent from his fortune, which he kept in French banks. These same banks were the largest in Europe and a significant part of their assets were accumulations of citizens. In other countries, this has not yet been observed. Tsarist Russia took both government loans from the governments of France and Germany, as well as private loans from French banks under state guarantees. In 1917, Lenin refused succession with Tsarist Russia and forgave everyone our debts, and this became the legal basis of the Soviet Union. We did not recognize for ourselves any royal debts, but we did not demand the foreign assets of Tsarist Russia in the form of land plots, farmsteads, well, and much more. In preparing the 1993 Constitution, Yeltsin and his team wanted to introduce a provision on the continuity of succession of the Russian Federation, the USSR, the Provisional Government, and Tsarist Russia. On the one hand, we recognized all royal debts, but on the other hand, we could claim back all foreign assets. Of particular interest was the ability to retroactively enforce enforcement acts. For example, the Constitutional Court recognizes that the transfer, first of Donbass, and then of Crimea to Ukraine, is not in accordance with applicable law, and no one can dispute this. However, the United States literally presented Russia with an ultimatum on this subject, regardless of France’s position, and Yeltsin won back by introducing into the Constitution a provision only on succession from the USSR. This was required by the presence of nuclear weapons, otherwise the United States would not have allowed it. After the Constitution was already adopted, the United States again slightly changed its position (such bastards they are) and supported the demand of France to pay debts. This requirement was due to the impossibility of obtaining further loans from the IMF and Yeltsin once again caved in. And by agreement of 27.05.1997/400/XNUMX, the state part of the debt in the amount of $ XNUMX million was paid to France. The payment itself was illegal from the point of view of the 1993 Constitution, but Kudrin and Kozyrev convinced Yeltsin that there was a legal way to avoid this ban, for this it was necessary to prepare some papers and pass them through the Duma. However, something went wrong and these documents did not see the light of day. As a result, the Constitutional Court has as many as three requests from the Communist Party and the Rodin party regarding the illegality of payments and they don’t know what to do with these requests. Yeltsin died, Kozyrev washed off in the United States, and the payments themselves fell literally on the first days of Putin’s premiership, and he simply could not delve into such a complex issue, and Kudrin, of course, completely blotted it out. Today's analysis of the text of this Agreement reveals two conflicting statements. On the one hand, the Russian Federation does not recognize the existence of a debt to French citizens through banks lending to the Tsar, and on the other hand, the French government will never give up this part of the debt and will provide assistance to its citizens. Here is such an interesting Agreement signed by Kudrin. Now it turns out that the mercantile French never throw away their securities, were able to organize themselves in public organizations and are now starting to file claims in the direction of the Russian Federation. First to the French courts, and then naturally they will reach the pan-European ones. And there it turns out that the first has already set a precedent for the payment of part of this debt, and secondly, once again, we will find our stupidity in the form of the primacy of international law over national law, and this is again enshrined in our Constitution. I think that this is only a matter of time about forcing us to pay. As they say, who chooses between war and shame, gets both. Debts must be paid, and it is difficult to object to this.
    For myself, I see it this way. The text as amended by the Constitution in the block with some documents is submitted to the referendum. Some documents are our confirmation of the independence of Poland, Finland and the Baltic states. Other contradictions should be resolved through the Constitutional Court. Thus, we confirm the borders of Poland in 1920, and through the Constitutional Court we recognize the illegal transfer to Poland of part of East Prussia in 1945. And so on according to the list: “Kemska volost” in Estonia, Donbass in Ukraine, Transnistria in Moldova in full compliance with the rule of law to the very logical end.

            Giving cheap tied loans to underdeveloped countries is one of the ways Western countries support their own economies. These debts are periodically written off. since in Western economies they have already paid for themselves. The USSR supplied weapons to developing countries and formalized this as a soft loan. Actually, it cost us a little, weapons came from storage depots, which still have T-34 tanks and machine guns that can be used to arm our entire population four times. At the next massive write-off of debts to developing countries, the West invited Russia to this process. We first refused, but the West carried out information processing of countries formerly dependent on the USSR, and they began to declare refusal to pay these debts, arguing that the USSR had provoked fratricidal war in these countries with this money, and were going to conduct this thesis through the General Assembly Resolution UN. This could end for us with large foreign policy losses, Russia could finally lose ground in Africa. Therefore, Russia joined this massive write-off of debts. No need to regret this money, it’s mostly empty warehouse loans.

    And now the members of this association are demanding payments from the Russian Federation, which may ultimately amount to up to 30 billion euros.

    Immediately after the start of the First World War, five tons of gold coins from the personal royal treasury were secretly placed in two railway cars and taken to Norway, where they are still located. Moreover, some of the coins are sold at numismatic auctions.

    In 1914, Russian gold bullion was transferred to British banks in the amount of $ 50 billion. They planned to pay for them for the supply of military equipment and weapons. None of them have been completed. It turned out that the British factories are simply not able to fulfill such a large order. But the gold was not returned. War, you know, once. And in 17, there seems to have been nobody ...

    From December 1915 to November 1916, Russia supplied gold to the US for $ 23 billion as a prepayment for weapons and gunpowder. The United States government spent money on its own military needs. Russia received neither money nor weapons.

    Realizing that England and the United States had stolen the money, the Russian government, hoping to obtain weapons, credited the equivalent of 1916 tons of gold to Japanese banks' foreign currency accounts in 300. The transfer is confirmed today by the successors of the then Japanese banks. But they are not going to give either weapons or money.

    In February 1917, the provisional government of Russia sent 3,7 tons of gold to Sweden for the purchase of military equipment, now it is $ 45 million. Back in 1928, confirmation was received that gold was in the vaults of Swedish banks. Russia has not received a single rifle, not a single cartridge from Sweden as a result of this gold.

    At the end of 1919, the 100 tons of gold seized by Admiral Kolchak from the Kazan bank vault were deposited with the Czechoslovak Corps on condition of returning to the Russian government. Gold trail was lost in Prague banks in 1925.

    In 1922, Lenin sent 93,5 tons of gold to Germany, which turned out to be a "trophy" in the "Bank de France" in Paris. In 1963, the status of this gold was confirmed by an agreement at the level of the governments of the USSR and France. The Russian side agreed to give 45 tons to pay off old Russian debts in favor of France. And 48,5 tons of gold have not yet been returned to us.

    The National Bank of France also holds $ 25 billion worth of Russian gold bullion transferred in 1914.

    According to the estimates of the British firm Pinkerton, Russia is now entitled to claim its gold worth $ 100 billion, as well as real estate worth $ 300 billion.

    French citizens file lawsuits against Russia to pay “royal debts”

    I wonder why royal debts are related only to Russia?
    At the time when the debt was formed, Russia also included Finland and Poland, not counting triboltuses and other Ukrainian-Georgian armenia, etc.
    If there is such an appeal and a decision on collection, then let them spread according to the population of all countries that were previously included in the debt formation period, so to speak, “in preporter”.
    Of course, Russia will not pay anything, such as:
    Interstate disputes between the French Republic and the Russian Federation on the issue of "Russian loans" were liquidated by the signing on May 27, 1997 of an agreement between the two countries, according to which France and Russia mutually refuse all financial debts that arose between them before May 9, 1945

    The question about the financial relations and debts of the Entente countries was answered scientifically evasively.
    1. Various credit lines - government, between companies, interbank, borrowed funds in the market of private investors.
    2. Various purchases were repeatedly re-credited at various banks and in different states.
    3. Not a lot of prepaid orders.
    4. Soviet Russia during the period of industrialization settled part of its debts when purchasing equipment from foreign companies, which was not advertised in the open press.
