Alex, Russia is intriguing because it's obvious that not everyone will be paid. So IMF must choose between increasing instability in a country with lots of nukes, on the one hand, or damage to major western financial institutions on the other. Who will get stiffed? The workers (not paid for months) or Duetche Bank, Citicorp etc.? My bet is all of the above (i.e, Russia will descend into political instability and Western financial institutions will get burned to boot).
