But after that, Russia will be hard pressed to bum a cigarette from IMF managing director Michel Camdessus. If the IMF in turn ceases to loan money, Russia will default on its foreign debt – expected to top $166 billion by the beginning of next year. Technically, as new IMF loans are only servicing Russia’s debt to the IMF, Russia has already defaulted. The IMF is only hiding the fact to prevent panic and the complete abandonment and ensuing economic collapse of Russia. Presented with the inevitability of Russian default, the IMF may choose to accept Russia’s appeal for forgiveness of at least the $100 billion debt it inherited from the Soviet Union.

There is a small chance that Russia could repatriate up to $500 billion estimated to have been hidden abroad over the past decade by everyone from the Communist Party and the KGB to the oligarchs and organized criminals. This would depend on the cooperation of Western banks and investigators and the next regime will not push the issue until the national debt issue is resolved – it won’t want the lost capital to go straight into the IMF’s coffers. Still, a Putin or a Primakov could be quite a national savior with that kind of slush fund.

Without those funds, Russia’s next president will find his options sharply narrowed. The politicians poised to take Russia’s helm are those who were left hanging by the sudden collapse of perestroika.

Russia has now come full circle. It has exited the political and economic cul-de-sac of the Yeltsin years and the perestroikists stand ready to resume their work. Left unanswered is the question why, having once experienced perestroika disintegrate, they feel they can make it work this time.

LETS JUST TAKE THE HIGHLIGHTED PART OF THAT EXCERPT AND DELETE IT. BECAUSE ITS REALY ONLY CORRUPT OFFICIALS, GANGSTERS/ORGANIZED CRIMINALS, OLIGARCHS, AND WESTERN INVESTORS THAT DID THAT TO US. NOTE: IT WAS CORRUPT OFFICIALS IN THE COMMUNIST PARTY, NOT THE ENTIRE PARTY OR THE PEOPLE AS A WHOLE. THATS A FALSE LIE AND I WONT STAND BEHIND IT. I KNOW MANY COMMUNIST PARTY MEMBERS AND THEY NEVER HAVE DONT SUCH A DIRTY THING!!!!!! IT WAS ONLY INDIVIDUALS SUCH AS GORBACHEV, AND THAT YELTSIN THAT TRICKED EVERYONE!

On Tuesday the Federal Security Service (FSB, formerly the KGB) reported on its search of the Moscow offices of the Kuwait-based charity Society for Social Reforms. Counter-intelligence officers allege that the charity has close ties not only with the Chechen rebel warlords, but also with the infamous terrorist Osama bin Laden, reportedly based in Afghanistan.



Representatives of the Kuwaiti registered Society for Social Reforms has resolutely denied the FSB’s statements and said the accusations were unsubstantiated and provocative.

The Moscow branch of the Society for Social Reforms was registered with the Russian Justice Ministry back in 1993. Beside Russia, the Society has offices in fifty other countries.

The charity first drew the attention of the Federal Security Service approximately a year ago, just after the second military campaign in Chechnya was started.

Back then the FSB listed the Society as a suspected sponsor of the rebels’ cause. The then-deputy chief of the Interior Ministry’s economic crimes department Kuzma Shalenkov said: “The Interior Ministry has appealed to Interpol to help intercept finances, illicitly delivered to bandit formations chiefly through non-governmental organizations, such as the Society for Social Reforms, Islamic Aid and the Islamic Congress.”

But no criminal proceedings were instigated back then, quite possibly because at that same time, the Society for Social Reforms and the Tatarstan Muslim Union signed an agreement whereby the Kuwaiti charity undertook to finance the construction of new buildings at the Russian Islamic University in Kazan (the capital of Tatarstan).

And now, almost a year later, the Federal Security Service has paid a surprise visit to the charity’s Moscow offices.

The FSB spent two days searching the premises, questioning employees and seizing documents and religious books. Counter-intelligence officers said they searched not only for evidence of the charity’s links to Chechen rebels, but also for proof that the Society maintains relations with international terrorist groups.

The statement issued by the FSB press service on Tuesday said that as a result of the searches, they now know the names of all organizations, “founded by the extremist wing of the international Islamic association the Moslem Brotherhood”.

In its statement FSB claims the Society for Social Reforms is in fact the Moscow branch of the Brotherhood and that the documents seized during the searches revealed that the organization was tying to recruit supporters and infiltrate governing structures in all the former Soviet republics. According to the statement, the Society received funding from abroad and was working on “expansion plans, including military plans.”

Propaganda found during the searches reportedly includes calls for the destruction of “existing political systems.”

The FSB claims that emissaries of the Moslem Brotherhood extremist wing coordinated their activities with other extremist groups, including that of the notorious Osama bin Laden.

At a press briefing Tuesday, the FSB press service refused to give the address of the Society for Social Reforms’ office. The Justice Ministry, where the charity was registered in 1998, did not give the correct address and contact numbers. The Kuwaiti Embassy in Moscow said they had never heard of the Society.

Nevertheless, the Russian newspaper Kommersant Daily succeeded in contacting the Moscow office of the Society.

“Nobody was arrested,” a charity representative told the paper, “The FSB’s assertions about our alleged links to extremists is nothing but sheer non-sense and provocation. It is enough to say that in the time since of the searches were conducted, the FSB physically could not have translated all the documents from Arabic into Russian.”

“We do render assistance to the citizens of the Northern Caucasus,” the Society’s representative said, “But we help refugees, not rebels.”

The Society’s representative informed Kommersant that not long ago the charity had sent 38 thousand aid packages containing foodstuffs, medicine and clothes for refugees in Ingushetia and added that FSB’s accusations such as those made in Tuesday’s statement, could lead to the curtailment of many useful charity programs.
