Ruske oligarhe je finančna kriza očitno že ‘udarila po glavi‘. Oleg Deripaska, eden najmogočnejših, po Forbesovi lestvici celo najbogatejši Rus (in kajpak zaupnik bivšega predsednika in sedanjega premiera Vladimirja Putina), je izgubil pred poldrugim letom s krediti kupljeni delež v kanadski nadnacionalki Magna (glavna dejavnost proizvodnja avtomobilskih sestavnih delov). Sindicirani kredit pri BNP Paribas (1,23 milijarde dolarjev) je bil najet ob pogodbenem določilu, da ‘zapade’, če delnici tečaj pade za več kot 40 odstotkov.

Analysts said the news was further proof that, after a year of lavish spending, Deripaska could be forced to sell off some of his major assets.
“Deripaska is facing very big liquidity problems,” an investment banker who covers the industry said on condition of anonymity, citing the sensitivity of the situation.
“He has been on a big buying spree … and it seems like a lot of it was done through loans, and now with the current problems he is having trouble refinancing it,” the banker said.
Over the past 18 months, Deripaska’s acquisitions have included a 30 percent stake in Austrian construction giant Strabag and United Company RusAl’s taking a 25 percent stake in Norilsk Nickel — one of the biggest deals in the country’s corporate history.
RusAl, in which Deripaska is the majority shareholder, took a $4.5 billion loan in March from a consortium of international banks to finance the purchase of the Norilsk stake. Norilsk’s share price has since fallen dramatically.

Bilo bi nenavadno, če uradno iz Deripaskove skupine problemov z likvidnostjo ne bi zanikali.

Najmanj tako nenavadno bi bilo, če tudi po umiku tukajšnje plime menedžerskih odkupov (v imenu ‘nacionalnega interesa’) s sindiciranimi posojili, zavarovanimi z delnicami in nepremičninami, ne bi nihče ostal ‘na suhem’. No, če ne bi nikogar lopnilo, ne le ‘udarilo po glavi’.
