[lbo-talk] Russia pays off last Soviet debt -- 14 years early

[Peter Lavelle]

More importantly, Russia very much intends to be creditor country in  the world (and could very much get on the nerves of the White House  lending to Washington's "less desirables" list of countries). Point is,  early re-payment is just as much a political move as an economic one.  The Kremlin has learned fast - money talks!
