There's a good article at IBTIMES about the Russian Dyre malware that's stolen millions by hacking passwords. Busted in the middle of Moscow.

Bloomberg says that Russia's 'Misery Index' which is the sum of unemployment and inflation rates. It has gone up to 19% from 11.7% in February 2014 to place the world's second-biggest oil producer among the world's worst economies.   :clapping: I feel bad for the normal folks on the street to an extent, but hey still support their governments actions so..

Krymster2,
Your most prized possession aka your private part is of no interest to anyone. If you chose to mention and talk about it, its size, taking pride in it at the public forum, your low self esteem and insecurities are obvious. It is high time you grew out of your insecurities and began TRULY educating yourself.

then why Luda did YOU first mention IT,

I'm getting mixed messages here, since you brought it up (so to speak), I perhaps mistakenly assumed you wanted to talk about it!!??

>It is high time you grew out of your insecurities and began TRULY educating yourself.

OK, will YOU be my teacher?  I've been a VERY naughty malchick!, I think you are going to have to discipline me so I'll learn my lesson!

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is reiterating his determination to win back ownership of four disputed Southern Kuril Islands in the Pacific. Russia stole those islands from Japan after Japan surrendered unconditionally to end the Second World War.
 Russia did not participate but declared war against Japan after the war actually ended. Those islands rightfully belong to Japan. Yet another land grab by Russians who occupy the land but do not know what to do with it except to pillage its natural resources as they do in Siberia.

Yes, but under pressure!

 The Chinese are not doing any loans or banking services for Russia or Russians. Putin is isolating Russia from the rest of the world. Russia continues to seek loans from others though.

ok.... but I fail to see how this is going to affect the common Russian, Chinaman, You or Me....  Only grasping with the little info you provided, but I can imagine volatility with RUB could be an aspect involved..

No it doesn't seem to be. More along the lines of the Chinese preferring the west to Russia.  Look it up.

Based on 2014 statistics, Russia holds 1,094.7 tonnes of Gold which places them in 6th place in World.  And, this represents only 10% of their total Reserves (Gold + Foreign Exchange Currency).

France in 5th place.
Italy in 4th place.
IMF in 3rd place.
Germany in 2nd place with 3,384.2 tonnes.
USA in 1st place with 8,133.5 tonnes.

 Ukraine changes to German engines in armored vehicles instead of Russian ones in the new production BTR-3, BTR-4 and the Dozor-B armored vehicles. The new NATO-type Deutz engines are quieter and more reliable than the old Russian made ones whose deliveries were stopped when Russia launched the military invasion in Donbas,

seriously? this is the thing you focus on while ignoring completely Aivaras Abromavicius’s departure and how this may topple Poroshenko’s government, an event that has already led the IMF to suspend handing out any more money for Ukraine’s oligarch’s to steal, and which has also prompted Putin to step up the military campaign in Donbas.  I’m also curious how your report in regards to the Russian/German engine swap is related to your contemporary and in person observations of Ukraine instead of just being from an internet source?  Where you there at the factory today, or were you just reading Kyiv Post?  Oh the hypocrisy!

Meanwhile Russia is talking about MAKING loans:

Again, a little knowledge, just a little, would keep you from making silly comments.

Russia and Belarus are a de facto "two countries in one" due to their "union" status. While personality differences will likely continue to stall any further merger efforts, the two have a united parliament and rotating presidency of their "Union State."

Ft, if you ever decide to travel to Russia, you will discover that your migration document will list both Russia and Belarus on it. Last week, the two met at Putin's Bocharov Ruchei residence in Sochi to plan the upcoming meeting of the Russia-Belarus Union State Supreme Council in Mogilev which will include a chamber of the cabinet ministers of both governments.

Every two years, just before the joint parliament meets, Luka travels to Moscow to beg for yet another bailout. Putin tolerates Lukashenko, but that is it. Belarus is a totally state controlled economy and is poorly managed. Putin is terminally frustrated with the need to bail them out time after time. However, as much as he doesn't like it, and as much as he can't really afford it, he has no choice. Thus, he grits his teeth and gives in.

Why is he forced to give in? The Union State status for one, although someday this will come back to bite Belarus. But, even more importantly are the gas and oil transit issues. Russia needs Belarus and thus the bailouts and cheap gas prices.

Putin also understands that certain Western players, Germany and Poland for example, would love to gain an entry into the rich agriculture farmland of Belarus. Luka would turn to such Western funding sources in a heartbeat if Putin were to deny loans. That would torpedo the Eurasian Customs Union which would tank were Putin to lose Belarus as he has Ukraine.

Please do not allow your ignorance of the region to colour your misguided thinking as to Russia having enough spare cash to throw out loans, as if it is no big deal. It is a big deal, and under the threat of all that he has to lose, Putin simply has no choice other than to continue the frustrating bailouts.

At least he will get something valuable, he usually does, with each bailout. Luka doesn't get the money for free.
