> even Russian banks make out mortgage loans in USDs Maybe you'll find a 2-3 obscure banks giving mortgage loans in USD in Russia. Although I'm not sure about even that.

I'm always surprised when people from the West discuss the economical/political issues in Russia while they know absolutely nothing but the typical media propaganda. Typically: "The only truth about Russia can be found in our media, not even the Russians themselves know anything about politics, economics, banks, loans, etc in their own country".
