Posts on Russia

Summary:
I wrote a number of posts on Forbes about Russia at the back end of 2014. At the time, there was a lot going on with the currency, the central bank and the banks. So for ease of reference, I've collected them here, in chronological order.Why the Russian Central Bank can't defend the rubleHas the Russian Central Bank thrown in the towel?The Russian Central Bank is regaining control, but for how long?Oil, sanctions and Russian politicsHow to destroy a currency, Russian styleRussia and the banksHow OPEC destroyed the Russian rubleRussian ruble: Let it fall, let it fall, let it fallThe Great Russian Bank BailoutWhy does Venezuela think Russia is its friend?No doubt there will be more in due course.
