Debt Russia? Take more - she will forgive!

155
Forgiving debts to foreign “partners” and “friends” has long become a political fashion in Russia. But why? Why is Moscow squandering people's money with such ease? Or no chance of getting something out of the debtor? So is it time to stop the very vicious practice of distributing money to anyone who asks? Is it time to stop arming on credit, build nuclear power plants on credit and so on?

Debt Russia? Take more - she will forgive!




In February, 2018 Russia forgave Kyrgyzstan a debt of two hundred and forty million dollars. Millions in currency, apparently, to anything Russia.

Officially, such a pardon is called the signing of a law on the settlement of Kyrgyzstan’s debt to Russia on previously granted loans. The law was signed by V. V. Putin.

"Settlement" refers to the cancellation of the so-called debt balance. 240 million dollars - only part of the loans issued to Kyrgyzstan. The total amount - 488,9 million. Of all this money, Kyrgyzstan paid only 55,1 million

Kyrgyzstan has long debt forgiveness story. The parties agreed on a “settlement” as early as 2012. In 2013, Russia wrote off about 188,9 million to the country. The remaining amount (300 million) was to be written off within ten years. Exactly one year ago, in February of 2017, President Atambayev addressed Putin with a request for a one-time write off of the remaining debt. According to him, such a write-off will improve the debt indicators of Kyrgyzstan.

Wow! If we add, everyone forgave Kyrgyzstan’s debts, in the near future it would have acquired the reputation of a first-class borrower on the world credit market.

The example of Kyrgyzstan is not unique. we started with him simply because he is the freshest in the politics of our generous government.

In recent years, the Kremlin has written off debts not only from Kyrgyzstan. In 2016-2017 debts forgiven Mozambique, Uzbekistan and Mongolia. The total amount of the "settlement" was about 1,4 billion dollars. Moreover, Kyrgyzstan is in this "club" forgiven with 2005 year. From 2005 to 2016, recalls "Lenta.ru", the Russian side has forgiven Kyrgyz about 703 million dollars. And for 12 years, the amount of forgiven debts was about a billion dollars.

No, do not need the currency of the country.

Uzbekistan is the second brotherly country, which also wants a “settlement”. And receives.

In 2016, Russia wrote off a debt in the amount of 865 million dollars to Uzbekistan. That was the debt on overdue loans issued in 1992-1993. The agreement provided for Uzbekistan’s rejection of claims to a share in the Diamond Fund of the former USSR, which he himself valued at billion dollars to 1-2.

In 2016, Russia "settled" 170 million dollars of Mongolian debt (97% of all debt). Mongolian debt arose in the 1990-ies since the failure of the loan of the Soviet era, intended to pay for the participation of Mongolia in the joint venture Mongolrostsvetmet. According to Russia, the debt restrained the development of investment cooperation, including the implementation by the companies of the Russian Federation of projects in the transport and mining sectors in Mongolia. However, this is not all debt relief. Earlier, in 2003, Moscow forgave Mongolia 11,1 billion dollars. This is also the debt of the Soviet era, which arose because of a loan worth 11,4 billion dollars.

In 2017, the Kremlin has forgiven forty million Mozambique - a trifle compared to other “settlements”. According to Lenta, this decision appeared to be of a “humanitarian” nature.

In addition, V. Putin recalled that Russia has forgiven the debts of more than twenty billion dollars to African states. Probably, the president was referring to debts written off from 2008 to 2012. Well, before that, Russia wrote off more 16 billions to African countries.

The amounts are truly astronomical.

Russia itself got all one hundred percent of the debt of the USSR. In 2017, she finally closed the matter, paying off with Bosnia and Herzegovina. “Initially, Russia, as the successor of the RSFSR, had to pay 61,34 a percent of the debt, the remaining obligations were distributed among the former Soviet republics: for example, Kyrgyzstan had to pay 0,95 percent, and Tajikistan - 0,82 percent, reminds Anastasia Stakhanova. “However, in 1993, Russia assumed the obligation to pay the USSR debt in full in exchange for the refusal of the former republics of shares in the foreign assets of the Soviet Union: they could claim parts of the“ inheritance ”equivalent to the size of the debt they inherited from the USSR.”

Recall that in 2006, Moscow paid off in full the debts to the Paris Club (23,7 billion dollars).

In 2013, Russia paid in full to the fraternal Czech Republic (3,6 billion dollars).

The Czech Republic was followed by Montenegro ($ 18 million) and Finland ($ 30 million).

Why are there Soviet debts - Russia pays royal ones too!

After the abdication of Nicholas II, in March seventeenth, the Provisional Government reported to the West about its readiness to service external debt. True, the Bolsheviks, who made another revolution, did not agree with this. In January, 1918 was approved by the decree on the cancellation of royal loans.

Meanwhile, foreign capitalists did not intend to forgive Russia's royal debts. And Russia began to pay the market! In the 1996 year, recalls "Lenta.ru", Moscow signed an agreement with France on payment, and in 2000 it transferred 400 million dollars. Earlier, an agreement on the settlement of debts of pre-revolutionary Russia was concluded in the 1986 year with Great Britain: the communist general secretary M. S. Gorbachev signed such an agreement with M. Thatcher.

In short, Russia pays. Pays, pays and pays again.

And then he forgives his debtors.

We consider the size of the "settlement" further.

2014 year. Russia has written off Cuba of debts for a deafening amount - more than thirty billion dollars. This “settlement” took place right before Putin’s visit to Havana. Experts immediately spoke out: they say, Russian oil companies "are looking for oil on the shelf of Cuba." However, Cuba, after forgiveness of debts, immediately became close to the United States.

Fraternal country? This term excitedly deputies A. Ischenko (LDPR) in 2014 year. “When it comes to debt cancellation even for fraternal countries, for some reason we always forget about our own citizens,” he said. Gazeta.ru. “Why didn’t the government raise the question, for example, on granting free vouchers to all citizens of the country to Cuba? ..” And then the deputy voiced a whole list of proposals for writing off debts from the Russian population: to forgive the villagers of the Russian Agricultural Bank, all Russians who took loans in Sberbank for a mortgage, to make a discount in 90% ... And it would be nice to give citizens of the Russian Federation a discount in 90% for utility services. And then allocate forgiven thirty billion debt to support the industry. “We are raising taxes from our population, we are raising taxes from business only to plug holes,” the deputy said angrily. - This money goes to the recapitalization of Vnesheconombank, go to some ineffective projects, which are then stolen. When will this end? When will we think about our citizens? ”

Speaking of "fraternal" Cuba, the deputy said:

“I understand that here is a brotherly country, maybe it should be treated according to the fraternal principle. Then I offer, dear colleagues from the technical majority party, offer your at least party members, members of the United Russia party who are taking a mortgage from Sberbank, offer them an 90-percent discount on this loan. And I think that they will rightly appreciate your proposal. ”


And the debts are “smaller”. In quotes, of course.

Iraq "settled" debts on 21,5 billion dollars - in 2004 and 2008. Interestingly, the new debt was forgiven for the second time: Iraq gained credits again after forgiving the previous debt in 2004, reminds "TVNZ".

And why not recruit, if forgive?

North Korea, after 2012, wrote off about $ 10 billion

Syria has forgiven 9,8 billion dollars in exchange for "agreements" in the construction, production of oil and gas.

“In theory, after each such write-off, be it Cuba, Nicaragua or North Korea,” KP quotes Mikhail Khromov from the Institute. Gaidar - that side should give Russian companies the most favored mode. But I cannot remember a single example, so that after the debt was written off, some contracts would actually appear. ”

Look further into the past. Let's see how the Kremlin under Putin turns the wheel of attraction of unheard of generosity.

In 2000, Russia "settled" most of the debt (9,5 billion from 11 billion) of Vietnam, recalls "Lenta.ru".

In 2001, Moscow relieved fraternal Ethiopia from debt (3,8 from 4,8 a billion dollars, the remaining billion was written off a little later, in 2005 year).

Under the write-off came, of course, and fraternal Afghanistan: 11 forgiven billions of dollars.

Waited for favors and Libya (4,6 billion dollars).

The financial result of the policy of mass forgiveness, which lasts about two decades and is expressed in hard currency: “settled” more than 140 billions of dollars!

Why should so much forgive? Isn't it better, though, to distribute vouchers to citizens? Especially against the background of the fact that foreign experts declared Russia in 2018 year “weak and unlucky”? (Read about it at "IN".)

In exchange, Russia expects to receive certain preferences. Experts try to give an explanation to these preferences. For example, S. Hestanov, a macroeconomic adviser from the Otkritie brokerage house, speaking with Lentoy.ru, called the debts written off by Russia “hopeless”. Forgiveness of these debts allows you to incline the debtor to solutions that are beneficial for the lender. However, the expert acknowledges the following: “The write-off of debts to Cuba and the DPRK has somewhat increased the influence of Russia in this region. But it did not bring material benefits. ” The expert apparently found it difficult to measure the “influence” of Russia.

The same “fraternal” Soviet debts with “preferences” attributed to the times of a brighter future, Russia forgives everywhere.

Vasily Kashin, Leading Researcher at the Institute of Far Eastern Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, explained to the Russian Service "BBC"that most of the debts written off by Russia are debts to the Soviet Union. In the 1980s, the expert noted, Moscow armed its allies around the world with an average of 25 billion dollars each year. “These are almost entirely Soviet debts that the Soviet Union distributed for political reasons without any analysis of the ability to pay them,” said Kashin.

The other day, in February 2018, Russian Deputy Minister of Finance Sergei Storchak undertook to explain Russian generosity. He said Gazeta.ru, why Russia forgives others, and returns debts with interest. Here is his explanation:

“This is a very big“ vulgar ”- so to speak and think. In each case and the loan issued to understand. Our debts, obligations that are properly drawn up and nominated in reserve currencies, are our obligations. And those requirements that were spelled out and left to us from the former Soviet Union are exotic. ”


He also added that loans issued half a century ago were issued for political reasons.

“The principle of Russia is this: that we can return we return, that we can not capitalize write off or restructure. - explained "Moskovsky Komsomol" Alexander Mikhaylenko, Professor at the Institute of Law and National Security, RANEPA. “We are not engaged in charity, support for“ fraternal peoples, ”as was done during the Soviet times.”

* * *


It is hard to believe such statements against the background of writing off debts amounting to more than one hundred and forty billion dollars. True, at the "top" it was increasingly said that the planned restoration of Syria is not at all fraternal assistance.

Recently, Mr. Rogozin made it clearthat investments in the restoration of Syria should be cost-effective: after all, we must think about the Russian budget. According to him, the Russian business in Syria considers "every penny, every ruble." One should “think not only about another country, even so close and friendly, but we now have to think about how to earn money in our budget, for our citizens, for people who are also waiting for some return from the big work of the Russian Federation on the territory of Syria” .

However, these are just words. In Syria, the devastation, the war continues, people are dying. And talking about some prospects is about the same as promising to build communism by the 1980 year.

If the Western states that provided loans to tsarist Russia, have shown a century of patience, then why not learn from these enterprising and patient gentlemen of Russia?

You can learn from "non-brotherly" capitalists and something else. Russia in finance for some reason traditionally puts the wrong horse. Maybe it is time to stop the practice of "generous soul" and learn to look at things realistically?

Or in the Kremlin, for example, they believe that Bangladesh is the richest country that will pay a loan for nuclear power plants without problems and make Russia rich in “preferences”? By the way signed The credit document from Russia is the very same Deputy Minister of Finance of the Russian Federation - Mr. Storchak.

In reality, Bangladesh is one of the poorest countries in Asia, the population of this small country periodically goes hungry. Exotic ...

      In my opinion, the answer is obvious. Loans are given for any concessions. Military bases, contracts, or something else.
      It is unlikely that we give a loan to Kyrgyzstan for profit.

        In theory, this is so. But in practice ... how to take credit is a brotherly people, and how to provide reciprocal concessions - so immediately the brotherly people turns into a sovereign state. smile

          There is a serious site
          "People's Initiative" http://ni.kprf.ru/, on which any citizen of the Russian Federation can support one or another initiative.
          This is the Communist Party’s Internet project for the development of civic initiatives, which allows you to really gain the required number of votes for consideration at the legislative level.
          The program of popular initiatives is far from being a set of good wishes, but a concrete plan of priority actions.
          Here is one of the recent initiatives:

          Legally prohibit the President of the Russian Federation from writing off debts to other countries
          According to RBC, Russia writes off huge debts to the CIS countries and other countries. So, in 2016. Putin V.V. wrote off debt to Uzbekistan in the amount of $ 865 million. Prior to this, debts were written off:
          - Mongolia - $ 170 million; Afghanistan - $ 12 billion; Libya - $ 4,5 billion
          - Kyrgyzstan - in stages with 2013. written off: $ 188,9 million, $ 60 million, soon another $ 240,0 million will be written off
          It follows only from the information provided that, starting with 2013. Russia deducted from the treasury a total of about $ 18 billion (I believe that the debts written off were not allocated from the personal savings of officials) And this is only according to published information. And how many more debts are written off according to unpublished data - we do not know. It is not clear why to lend at all to those who obviously cannot or will not want to return it? Something I never met the information that the rich and highly developed states (the USA, Great Britain, Germany, France and others), which respected themselves and their people, gave to poor states a loan, but they did not get it back. Only according to the information presented, it turns out that Russia simply has nowhere to put money.

          How can this be so? The people suffocating from impoverished pensions and impoverished salaries to state employees, pennies are allocated to help people with disabilities, the economy is ruined and its prosperity is not expected in the coming years, free education is completely killed, medicine, social programs are cut, free-of-charge beneficiaries near Moscow are prohibited from traveling in Moscow city transport, in the country there is no system for providing beneficiaries with free medicines. Moscow and its suburbs live as two different states in terms of providing social benefits, salaries and pensions. Despite the fact that almost all of Moscow Region works in Moscow. Nobody knows how the assistance signed by Putin to families with children will work. But at present, not every young family will decide on a second child - there is no stability in the country, today there is work, and tomorrow there is none, prices are constantly rising for food and utilities, and there is state assistance today, and tomorrow - it is not known whether or not she will be in time for inflation, and with her maternity capital - it’s also nonsense: you can’t get any housing in Moscow and the region, and you can’t get the money, although they are needed so far while my mother doesn’t work, but sitting with a child and the family pulls on one dad's salary. Enormous reductions go on and on, people cannot find a decent job and are left without a livelihood. If the government is not able to boost the economy and restore production, provide people with jobs, is it not better to give these billions of dollars to their people? And we write off billions of dollars in debt to those countries that then spit in our backs and betray us?

          The solution
          Considering that obviously bad debts are allocated from the Russian treasury, in which there is sorely no money for a decent salary to doctors, teachers and other state employees, nor for decent pensions, or for decent social benefits,
          - decide on the allocation of debt and its cancellation only on the basis of a popular referendum: people agree to write off the debt - write off.

          Expected Result
          1. Money from the Russian treasury, replenished by population taxes, will not go nowhere. 2. It’s easier for the people to live a little. 3. Debtor states, accustomed to writing off debts, will begin to respect our country more respectfully.

By the way, in the 90s, the Communists, along with Zhirinovsky and Yavlinsky, forgave these debts. Neither United Russia nor Putin has yet been. It's a pity the pros were forbidden to set.

            Well, how not interesting, this is exactly the same electorate in the elections. The bottom line is that debt forgiveness is the legacy of the USSR to forgive debts. one must get rid of this vicious past. It is necessary to attract countries in a different way.

              Strange idea. How does the state, in your opinion, have to forgive the debt that arose from an individual to a private office? The Russian Federation forgives only debts that have arisen before it. No one ever forgives someone else's debts. It is as if someone borrowed a couple of millions from you, and the state canceled this debt by law.

                    And bankruptcy is:
                    - if the property of the debtor is less than the amount of the debt, then this is protection and forgiveness of the debtor. “Open” your TV and watch the constantly running ads of law firms: “Legally free from debt!”
                    - if the property of the debtor is more than the amount of the debt, then bankruptcy is the robbery of the debtor in the process of "managing" his property.

                      With all due respect to you, but you are very far from judicial practice and from this law. Once again: in one middle region, there are 15000 appeals to cantors per year, which advertise themselves in this field, and only 8000 people go bankrupt throughout the country. Those. for a year, fewer physicists are recognized as bankrupt than lawyers - these are dry figures for several years.

                      As for the law, the bankruptcy procedure, in fact, is implemented only if the debtor has property that can be sold or income that allows you to cover the debt to the creditor.
                      If you open the law, you will find that it provides only 2 procedures for individuals (Article 213.2): restructuring of a citizen’s debts, selling a citizen’s property and an amicable agreement (the latter is something like restructuring + selling a property with strict deadlines execution). This list is exhaustive.

                      As for "the time will come and banks will begin to crumble from the non-repayment of such loans", then:
                      1. I really hope that this will not happen in our country;
                      2. Do not consider people who wrote this law as idiots - no one in their right mind will ruin their own banking system. And the point here is not “conspiracies” and other horrors. It's just that in the event of a collapse of the banking system, the crisis in the country will be steeper than all that we knew.

                      Now only the wallet of people who run with statements to different offices is being poured: they are tearing money from them (knowing that the result expected by a person is unattainable), and later they inform the client that "everything was lost." So, just think about it, if everything is so smooth, then why don't up to 90% of the entire private legal and 99% attorney corps try to get involved in the bankruptcy of physicists?

                      As for the "debtor-scammers," then, for information, they have been quite effectively fought with them and this law will not change anything.

                      On this topic, I propose to close: you want to believe in the effectiveness of the bankruptcy mechanism of physicists is your business.

                  Can. And the corresponding article in the Civil Code is available. This is exactly what some collectors do - they redeem debt and try to collect it. It just does not work out to recover from someone who had previously planned not to repay debts and transferred all the property to relatives.
                  The collectors did not work, there is no effect from them, except for screams in the press about their working methods. Therefore, the state went to forgiveness of debts, in fact, signed in impotence.

So firstly you are not so interesting to the state, and secondly it is just business. Russia, too, does not forgive EVERYONE, on whom it makes money ... I hope)))

              Well, how not interesting, this is exactly the same electorate in the elections. The bottom line is that debt forgiveness is the legacy of the USSR to forgive debts. one must get rid of this vicious past. It is necessary to attract countries in a different way.

              you will not believe - the USA also forgives debts !! Much less often than us - but forgives.
              Like small children !!!
              This is an old principle in politics - giving an actual bribe to the head of a foreign state. The options for this bribe are to give a loan or to forgive a loan. It all depends on the situation in that country - do they need new money in an effort to fall into the plug of the population or is there time and then they write off the old loan. Quite often nobody plans to give or return this money ....
              1999
              "Clinton announced that the project of developed countries that are going to forgive debts to countries with the weakest economies will be supported by the United States. full forgiveness of debts to 36 states, including Bolivia, Honduras, Congo, Ethiopia, Mozambique, Nicaragua, Rwanda, Somalia, Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia... At the same time, Bill Clinton said the following: "Today I orient my administration towards a decision on forgiveness 100% debt in the event that the US debtor countries - and this is very important - if there is a need for a financial base for humanitarian support of these countries and if the money is used there for its intended purpose. "
              - is it not strange that there is a conversation about those same countries, which forgives the debts of the Russian Federation??? The United States is parallel to the Russian Federation in one direction ??
              Think about it - why so ?? capitalists who strangle their mom for a dollar, forgive debts ???
              Politics is a very dirty business and it is impossible to approach it from the perspective of normal people ("you must give back debts!").

            Bullshit, dear friend. It was just an election campaign. Debts were “forgiven” as of 01.01.2015, that is, debts that are already three years old. And this according to the Law (three years is the statute of limitations) is already unclaimed debts. They are "forgiven" by a separate decree - no need, they are automatically written off. What they announced on TV as the goodwill of the President - nonsense, they are already written off. Divorce before the election. In this sense, the President VERY disappointed me. This means that we are held for complete suckers. Especially before the election!

As a result of the entry of Kyrgyzstan into the Customs Union in Kuzbas, in the Krasnoyarsk Territory, Novosibirsk, Omsk, and Tomsk Regions, deliveries of fruits and vegetables began at a price much lower than import, which entailed the development of agriculture in Kyrgyzstan itself.

In Belaya Kalitva, my mother changed the lens in the eye clinic. so the shoe covers are issued by the machine. only there you need to insert 5 rubles.

      As the non-brothers were already overwhelmed with loans and low prices and various discounts to their own detriment, they themselves almost paid to take it, it helped us a lot? The same applies to the rest of the environment, especially the Baltic states and the Pole, how many of them swelled and what ultimately ? Life does not teach anything, how much they thumped around the world before, but how did they themselves need help, where are they all “friends forever?” The same will happen in Asia, as Russians were cut there in the 20s, 40s and 90s - how Russian women and children were killed there, how they spat in the back at every opportunity, they will, no money from grazes. Our ours, a blood friend from Kazakhstan, quietly glanced, quietly, sent us far away and utterly ukrov, side-by-side there for lace panties., forgetting the debts and the fact that 2/3 of the lands there are Russian. And to us who what did you forgive or wrote off? As the vans were flawed, we remained simpletons and cripples, we’ll suck a paw and dream of a beautiful life, until we’ll hurt our brains once again, when it becomes painful and insulting, from inept means and lost opportunities, lost time.

      In principle, the policy of writing off government debt on state loans is vicious. But there is a reality! Cuba owed us more for the Soviet T-34-85 period of the Second World War. With us, they would have rotted away in storage for these 50 years, and a mountain that had blocked the current trade was pledged for the delayed debt. Africa is about the same. Our henchmen like Castro took our loans, and maintaining them is beneficial to us politically and economically. They did not let our loans go to the left, and partially paid back with the supplies we needed, such as sugar, potatoes, etc. But the main thing is that the USA opposed, which is costly. It was logical to write off such debts. Moreover, they wouldn’t be returned anyway - they don’t have any urine for it. The story is the same with Afghanistan - we armed him, because we needed it. In short - politics needs to be adjusted, but not condemned amateurishly or intentionally provocatively. To conquer markets and keep them open to yourself is the business of professionals.

      And "kind" let them give out of YOUR pocket.

      Oh, how strangers millions and billions have blinded the author. Aliens! And the fact that this money is state money does not automatically transfer it to the author’s pocket.
      The fact that Russia can forgive debts is not a vice, but generosity. For example, I also lend only if I say goodbye to this money forever. If they don’t return, it means they won’t return it, but I’ll help the person. But in the case of government debts, some terms of the deal are likely to be negotiated, some benefits for Russia. Putin is smart and knows what he’s doing, but doesn’t put his pluses on display.
      And the ostentatious "righteous anger" of the author does not add honor to him. Doros would first be up to the president, then he would undertake to talk about "people's money."

        I have long dreamed of meeting a person like you. Could you say goodbye to a person with at least 70-80 thousand rubles at a time, maximum 200? Extremely difficult situation, you know ...

      Not so simple, the author of the article is hardly in the subject. And of course, he undertakes to judge without knowing what really stands "for the forgiveness of loans." We live in an age of capitalism and I think that as he says now, the wind doesn’t throw anything away.

      Respect to the author. I demand the continuation of the topic! good

      the topic is garbage and the author argues as a layman. Because it is hardly in the subject of what is “behind the forgiveness of loans,” in the age of capitalism, there is nothing that is not simply forgiven. It’s time to know about it.

      Maybe Russia is not "forgiving" debts for free? Such generosity is contrary to common sense, does not fit in the head.
      Suppose we have forgiven a debt to an African state, but in return private individuals close to the authorities can "ask" for a share of the profit in the extraction of diamonds, uranium, but what else ...
      Maybe this is an additional way of enriching our elite. Well, why not? We will never learn much, alas.

        Yes, that's how it is. We also sell a lot of things at low prices to foreign intermediary firms owned by our oligarchs, and then they resell it at times more expensive. Therefore, the state "has no money, but you hold on." RAO UES of Chubais privatized so that, as a result, electricity prices increased at times, although in all textbooks it is written that market reforms lead to lower prices. Only there is no market there, since he divided it vertically, not horizontally, and imposed intermediaries who placed an additional burden on all of us. Chubais separated the networks from the generation, so who is he after that? And so in everything - prices are only rising as a result of "market" reforms.

      I am glad that I live in the richest country ... which, in spite of everything ... debt forgiveness ... the export of capital abroad ... payment of other people's debts ... in trillions of green still exists ... and if to believe the media is even developing ... It’s fighting ... it’s building a nuclear power plant ... True, I have a pension of $ 200 ... but that’s nothing ... but the blacks in Africa are good ...


      Blacks in Africa do not have a pension of $ 200. They don’t have at all, pensions - brother! And for these pensions, our great-grandfathers did the Revolution, fought almost with the whole world. And my father, for example, who had a hand in the 60-70s, health and 20 thousand hours of flying time for the future export-raw material power of the USSR-Russia, was seriously considering whether he should transfer the pension from the Republic of Belarus to Russia to a native of the Russian SSR, because the difference in his profession and experience. almost threefold .. Yes late already, life at sunset ..

      I mean, we still have to fight even for the preservation of current social benefits, what can we say about a decent existence and a glance towards the "civilized"

      Like children, everything is straight.

      This is such an investment in diplomatic, political, military or economic projects, so to speak.
      The primerchik would at least be brought. And then some letters. Or is it not our mind thing? For these words, you can hide hto hosh. Do not find? I can’t think of anything that can be obtained from poor countries, which requires secrecy. And you?


      I wrote about Kyrgyzstan, and that’s just the main thing. Which country are you interested in? In general, there is no secrecy, unless it is connected with any spy stories or conducting reconnaissance or special events on the territory of a certain country, in
      in relation to its neighbors. I understand that it would be easier for you if the news indicated that Russia wrote off so much money to such and such a country in exchange for such and such. But this will not happen, there is diplomatic correctness, you cannot publicly humiliate a country that " the debt is written off.

      The answer is simple. As long as people in our country have the right to vote, saying that “someone imposed Crimea on us” (it boggles the mind!), that we are sitting on the “oil and gas needle” and similar, well-known theses, we will continue to be “threw” for money." Where are the three billion given to the alcoholic brothers? Why do the French dare to make any claims regarding the royal debts?
      But, let’s say, billions from unfortunate Africans, and even more so from our beloved Cubans, may not even be noticed. However, the above-mentioned personalities allude to them. Why? Who do you serve, gentlemen?

      As you know, the Central Bank is sterilizing the ruble mass within the Russian Federation. It is possible that the Russian leadership, by writing off debts in dollars, will also sterilize the dollar supply, that is, it will help states reduce their debt.

      The collectors did not work, there is no effect from them, except for howls in the press about their methods of work.

      Well, how can I say, in fact, according to the law, collectors cannot collect a debt, so they do it differently, you know how, but here, as they say, some don’t care, while others are afraid and pay, they find money somewhere.
      In general, all this can take a long time to sort out; in fact, it all depends on the initial agreement with the bank, how legal it was to transfer information to third parties, etc. etc.
      But the topic is that there are debts between states... what if the state does not pay and there is nothing to pay for a long time, no one gives a loan, what in this case? Contact another government (collector) who will collect debts by sending troops into the debtor’s territory? wassat laughing And I wonder which countries would act as state collectors? lol ok it's just humor...)))
