Here’s How Messy a Russian Bond Default Could Be
There’s a big question over whether Russia will be able (or willing) to make payments on billions of dollars it’s borrowed from investors given its current situation.

They describe how odd some Russian bonds are and what might happen after default. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
