Вопрос знатокам:
Сколько времени поклонникам культа личности потребуется для того, чтобы в конце концов признать, что государственный внешний долг СССР/России на конец 1991 г. составлял 67,8 млрд.дол?

Man in the shadows: USSR Politburo member Oleg Shenin.
Hidden assets of the Soviet Communist Party.

By Vladimir Kvint and Natalia Darialova 28 October 1991

Forbes Magazine

THE SOVIET UNION announced late last month that
it has only $3 billion in gold reserves. Westerners were
stunned. What happened to all those tens of billions of
dollars’ worth of gold the CIA and other analysts had
assumed existed in Soviet vaults?
The standard answer is that the Soviets spent it, especially
after their oil revenues dropped. We think the standard
answer is incorrect. Not all the Soviet gold was spent. A
lot of it remains, but in private names and in private bank
accounts.

I (V.K.) worked in the Soviet gold and silver industry for
many years. Knowing how the metals are produced and
where they go, I estimate that at least 60 tons of god, 8
tons of Norilsk platinum and not less than 150 tons of
silver were hidden abroad at the order of the Communist
Party. We’re not talking about peanuts.
This is without counting diamonds of more than 10 carats,
which the U.S.S.R. has been mining but hasn’t been selling
in the world markets for over 45 years. In theory they were
held at the “Third Department” of the U.S.S.R.’s Ministry
of Finance, known under the name “Gokhran” (State
Guard). In practice the Communist Party and the Central
Committee functionaries could and did help themselves to
these diamonds.

By our estimates, between $15 billion and $50 billion of
Communist Party money sits, like the lost treasures at the
bottom of the ocean, in the safes of Western banks.
So the Soviet Union is not as broke as it pretends. As with
a lot of Latin American countries, what should be its
reserves instead sit in private hands in foreign banks.
Further, we think this buried capital was a factor in
the unsuccessful coup against Gorbachev on Aug. 19.
According to the official account, the leader of the coup
was Vice President Gennady Yanayev. But in spite of his
cunning, he is a rather shallow man, overly fond of vodka.

He couldn’t conspire his way out of a paper bag.

Then who was the real ringleader? His name is Oleg
Shenin, 54, a member of the Politburo. Shenin’s name
has not yet been publicly linked to the coup, but he was
arrested in Moscow soon after the coup failed and is now
behind bars.

I have known both Yanayev and Shenin for 20 years.
Unlike Yanayev, Shenin is razor-sharp and persistent
in reaching his goals. As secretary of the Central
Committee, he controlled at least $15 billion worth of
secret Communist Party deposits in Western, mainly Swiss,
banks.

Always a man in the shadows, shenin was in charge of the
country’s two most powerful institutions: the KGB and the
army. He is man who believed that arrows from the dark
hit better. So he preferred anonymity even though both
the former KGB chairman, Vladimir Kryuchkov, and the
former defense minister, Dmitri Yazov, reported to him.
Equally important, Shenin controlled the Communist
Party’s money. He was to the Communist Party what
Martin Bormann was to Hitler’s National Socialists.
One other man had a hand on the purse strings. He was
a party functionary named Nickolai Kruchina. Since
1983 Kruchina ran the Upravlenie Delami—the Business
Management Headquarters. That organization controlled
billions of dollars’ worth of the party’s money, mostly in
publishing houses, real estate and cash.

Where is Kruchina now? In a better world. Four days after
the coup and after the frantic flights between Moscow and
the Crimea, Kruchina made his last flight—out of the
fifth-floor window of his apartment. Did he jump? Or was
he shoved? It’s not clear. What is clear is that he knew too
much for his own good. So now only the jailed Shenin—
and perhaps Gorbachev—knows where the money is.
It boils down to this: The Communist Party’s head is
dead, but its body still lives.

It is one of the world’s biggest financial corporations.
