Landsbanki/Icesave rescue; Russia saves Iceland

Posted in another thread, but posted here for better attention:
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=a3FLoXHmazOs&refer=worldwide
Iceland's Financial Supervisory Authority today took control of Landsbanki Islands hf, the nation's second-biggest lender, and the central bank gave a 500 million-euro loan to Kaupthing Bank hf, the biggest.

Iceland got a 4 billion-euro ($5.43 billion) loan from Russia after the currency's slump and bad debts crippled the financial system.
