    Meanwhile Russian Banks seem to be bucking the trend and going from strength to strength:
    Although journalists could find no one from Balalaikabank to comment because they were unsure who is pulling the strings,
    The CEO of Vodkabank said his staff were in high spirits.
    Hermitage Bank of St Petersburg said that they were about to move into new headquarters, because the present ones "are like a museum."
    The CEO of Georgia Bank was unavailable for comment, saying he had something on his mind.
    However, the boss of the Kalashnikov Bank was more forthcoming, inviting journalists to ask questions with the words "fire away."
    Shares in Cossack Bank went up half a Rouble on the news that a new CEO was about to climb into the saddle.
    The Chairman of Volga Bank reported that things were flowing along nicely.
    The only bad news on the Russian stockmarket was that Borschbank's shares dropped 5% on rumours that the company has landed in the soup.
    No one was available at the Samovar Bank, because all the staff were on a tea break.
    In the field of investment, 99 per cent of everything is garbage. Why? Because we have "gearing". - Robert Beckman
