I have no idea what goes on. I don't have any roubles. While reading up on some history I did read that Krushchev ceded control of the Crimea to Kiev in 1954, Stalin expelled the Tartars killing 45% and that there were genocidal starvations. I sort of knew this stuff, but was amazed to discover Sevastopol was the centre of massive slaving of Europeans to the Middle East, mostly by the Tartars - who sacked Moscow in 1751 taking thousands into slavery. This European slavery continued after the bombardment of Algiers in 1816.
-- It looks to me as though the Russians were enticed into invading Crimea. This has crashed the rouble and their stockmarket - one wonders who was short on both positions. The only thing I'e noticed is the reliance of western Europe on Russian energy. Anyone any ideas?
