When earthquakes struck the world monetary and financial system in early August, people in Russia remembered the collapse of the GKO bond pyramid, nine years before. On Aug. 17, 1998, Russia went into technical default on the equivalent of $40 billion in GKOs, short-term government bonds that had been a favorite destination of hot money from around the world during the preceding months. That marked the end of the Russian economy's initial post-Soviet period, 1991-98—the time of breakneck privatization and deregulation that Russian economist Sergei Glazyev calls "the swindle of the century," and Lyndon LaRouche names as "the greatest looting operation in history."
