Nicholas II was "fired" but position still exist. Undoubtedly, Putin is a Czar, not "president".

I'm guessing you were born circa 1990 in Russia.

At least we can both agree that neither of us cares if Russians suffer as a result of the collapsing ruble.

now, concerning a "default", you must realize George Soros, notorious for

How dare you speak disparagingly of George Soros, the darling of the American progressive left!!!!!!!!!

Russia is a key player with the major global financial system changes coming soon.(involving the BRICS, IMF reforms etc...) Financial battles are being waged, positions and dramas are playing out.

Jews already bankrupted Russia after the fall of the soviet union they, themselves, created. Doubt Putin will let them do it again.
