Каналы связи двух стран

(из статьи "НЙ Таймс" про русский финансовый заповедник на Кипре)

А вышеизложенный план "будет трудно осуществить на практике, если учесть связи Кипра с Россией", - добавляет он. Президент Кипра Христофиас - коммунист, получивший высшее образование в России. В прошлом году Россия выдала Кипру кредит в 3,3 млрд долларов. Крупнейший вкладчик Bank of Cyprus - российский миллиардер Дмитрий Рыболовлев.

Или хотя бы в википедию :-) Но лажа в переводе фразы про Рыболовлева даже не столь интересна.

А вот скажи, что на самом деле написано во фразе "Немецкие депутаты уже заявили, что отвергнут любой план, который выльется в спасение российских вкладчиков, добавляет газета"? Точно "вкладчиков"?

Demetris Christofias, the Cypriot president, is a Communist who received his higher education in Russia. What is more, Russia provided Cyprus with $3.3 billion in emergency financing last year. And the largest individual shareholder of the Bank of Cyprus is Dmitry Rybolovlev, a billionaire Russian businessman.

But European officials see Cyprus as a new opportunity to censure banks for what they describe as their too-big-to-fail sense of entitlement, according to some people involved in the bailout discussions. Cyprus’s loosely regulated and tax-friendly banking climate has long made it a favorite destination for Russians seeking to place their rubles in a euro zone bank that does not ask too many questions.

People in favor of forcing depositors to share the cost of the bailout make this argument: It was an unusually high, $14.4 billion spike in Cypriot bank deposits in 2010 — as much as half of it from Russia — that prompted the banks to make the bad lending decisions that led to their collapse. The banks put much of the money into Greek government bonds, only to absorb big losses when those bonds were restructured last year.

Of the $22.2 billion needed to keep Cyprus afloat, at least $13.1 billion would need to be pumped into the country’s banks.

European officials caution that while it may still be a long shot, a move to force large, uninsured depositors to share the pain with Europe’s taxpayers would send a powerful message to the market that risky financial conduct has consequences.

“If it is just the official sector that does this, then what you end up doing is bailing out Russian oligarchs,” said Alessandro Leipold, chief economist of the Lisbon Council, a research organization in Brussels, and a former top executive at the International Monetary Fund. “I would be very surprised if there is no private sector involvement here.”

German lawmakers have said they will reject any deal that has the effect of bailing out Russian depositors. And Chancellor Angela Merkel, who plans to visit Cyprus on Friday, said Wednesday that the country would be given “no special conditions.”
