Notes<br />

1. “Eight metric tons of platinum, 60 metric tons of gold, hoards of diamonds and an<br />

estimated $15 billion to $50 billion in cash were, according to reformist<br />

lawmakers probing KGB crimes, only a small part of state property stolen under<br />

secret Communist Party Central Committee decrees and transferred to unknown<br />

hands by the KGB's espionage branch between 1989 and 1991…Less than $2.5<br />

billion of the $300 to $500 billion Dollar siphoned out of Russia from 1991 to<br />

1997 has returned to be invested in Russia.” Statement of Richard L Palmer,<br />

President of Cachet International, Inc. on the Infiltration of the Western Financial<br />

System By Elements of Russian Organized Crime Before the House Committee<br />

on Banking and Financial Services on <strong>September</strong> 21, 1999<br />

3. For those readers unfamiliar with the history of Riggs-Valmet “Christian Michel,<br />

a founder of Valmet, a Geneva-based global trust business, which agreed in early<br />

1989 to advise Khodorkovsky's group of young businessmen. Valmet later held<br />

the key to the Group Menatep fortune, holding shares via nominee ownership<br />

schemes and organizing the transfer of vast sums of money via its network.”<br />

May 16, 2005. Abramovich’s connection to Riggs-Valmet is found in: Yeltsin<br />

'Family' Tycoon Linked to Cash Scandal , James Bone, David Lister, Fiona Flick,<br />

The Times (UK), <strong>September</strong> 7, 1999.<br />

4. “Healthcare financing and payment of pensions drastically decreased, a crisis<br />

happened to the financial system; all savings of the population “burned” in<br />

inflation. Life span decreased. Thus, if we sum up, the theft of the Central Bank in<br />

its economic consequences was comparable to a nuclear aggression against our<br />

country.” From: “President of information protection company: “The West is not<br />

very highly concerned with the threat of cyber terrorism,” Anatoly Klepov,<br />

www.regnum.ru/english/749825.html, December 14, 2006. “Some 70 percent of<br />

Russians now live below or just above the poverty level, and capital investment<br />

(the source of future prosperity) is only 10 percent of what it was a decade ago. In<br />

addition, basic social statistics reveal a "catastrophe of historic proportions," as<br />

Nicholas Eberstadt documented in the Heritage Foundation's Policy Review, a<br />

venue that's not likely to wax nostalgic for the USSR. Eberstadt, extrapolating<br />

from World Health Organization estimates, argues that more than 3 million<br />

"excess deaths"--people who died who wouldn't have, according to old<br />

demographic patterns--occurred between 1992 and 1998. With deaths exceeding<br />

births, the population is shrinking annually, something rarely seen unless there is<br />

war or famine.” (Robbing Russia ,<br />
