"De-Dollarizing" Russia Pays Down Near-Record $53 Billion In Debt In Third Quarter

"Russia paid down a massive $52.8 billion in foreign debt as Putin "de-dollarizes" at near record pace, reducing external debt to the lowest since 2012. As Goldman explains, trade and income improved notably." I think that's wonderful. I'm happy to hear of Russia's success despite the ugly, bullying behavior of the United States government.
