Russia has surrendered the last amount owed from the Soviet Union of $ 125.2 million to Bosnia and Herzegovina, as the Russian Ministry of Finance reported on Tuesday. This means that with this last installment Russia has paid ALL foreign debt of the Soviet Union of 105 billion dollars without the help of the former Soviet republics. At the same time, Russia has depreciated or forgiven $ 100 billion of debt owed by the Third World to the Soviet Union
After the collapse of the USSR it was agreed that the foreign debt of the Soviet Union would be borne proportionally by all Soviet republics. But most refused to settle their share and so Russia took over virtually all the debts with the complete repayment now. The repayment of debts began with the presidency of Waldimir Putin, who has consistently repaid Western loans.
In other words, the economic performance of Russia must be seen in a very different light, compared with the other former Soviet republics, which were able to go indebtently to independence, without any burden from the past. But what is it? After almost 27 years of "enjoyment" of Western capitalism, "democracy" and incorporation into the bosom of the EU and NATO, almost all today are very bad, or like Ukraine, are completely bankrupt!
In 1991, a document was agreed upon among the former Soviet republics, all of which would assume the debts of the Soviet Union. The main load would carry Russia with 61.34 percent. Ukraine should pay 16.37 percent, Belarus will pay 4.13 percent etc.
But, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Azerbaijan, Moldova, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan have not signed the agreement. That is why in 1994 Russia took over all the debts in exchange for property around the former Soviet Union.
When, after the violent Western coup in Kiev in 2014, the new regime threatened to confiscate Russian property within Ukraine, Moscow reminded the Ukrainians that it owed 20 billion dollars from the Soviet Union and when Kiev expropriated the expropriation, Moscow will repay desire.
As I said, Russia has not only repaid all the debts and repaid every dollar, including interest, to the Paris Club of Creditors and to countries such as the US and the UK, it has also depreciated loans owed to countries of the Soviet Union.
For example, in 2014, Russia has outsourced more than $ 30 billion, Cuba to 21.5 billion, Mongolia 11.1 billion, Afghanistan 11 billion and North Korea 10 billion, plus 20 billion African countries. Overall, Russia has NOT reclaimed more than 100 billion dollars.
These figures show the power of Russia and the correctness of the Russian government under the presidency of Vladimir Putin. Just imagine, Russia could have a new start, even without debt, the country would be even better.
I would like to remind you that the Federal Republic of Germany did not pay the debts of the First World War until 2010, so it took more than 90 years for it! I emphasize, the First World War, of the Second I do not speak at all. See my article from 2009: "Germany still pays for war from the First World War".
A new era for Russia begins with the last installment and thus freedom of debt, because without this enormous burden on the eradication of the past 17 years, the future of Russia looks very good!
What are the debts of the US, the EU countries and the Western countries? Countless trillions. They drown in it. Nothing is ever repaid, only more and more are being piled up!
But Russia and Putin are constantly being hired as "evil" and Russia's economy as weak.
