Some international banks estimating that between up to $20bn (£11bn)in foreign capital has been pulled out of Russia in the last month alone.

But Russia is not in any danger of imminent economic crisis.

Some time ago I posted something to my FRiend Sal about how the pipelines are in need of maintenance and oil is running out for the Russkies. Apparently they were into energy for the quick and dirty approach and now are in arrears for having done it that way.
