Comment: Gosbank was the center of the plundering during Soviet collapse

Gosbank was the center of the plundering during the Soviet collapse. One of its functions was to clear foreign transactions for the ministry of trade. That ministry was the ONLY one in the Soviet state in which its people got paid commissions for their work. The more trade, the bigger commissions.

But the fact that Gosbank dealt with the Bank for International Settlements and other major financial houses meant its people could take full advantage of the slow crumbling of the soviet state.

They were already mercilessly plundering the Soviet economy long before Gorbachev signed off on the Soviet death certificate. By 1995, they had committed the biggest theft in world history, effectivly moving the wealth of 200 million people out of Russia and into anonymous accounts -- in Cyprus.

Now isn't that interesting~
