Майко.. Какво щеше да прави света без тези паладини американците
Да си кажа рецитацията за 90те.
Тогава целия свят дава на СССР към 160 милиарда долара (сегашни пари). Приноса на САЩ е доста “скромен” – само към 10!млрд. Истинския спасител е Германия – 130 млрд.
И тия убустници охрадоха почти всичката тая помощ. Един от тях е и путкин като виден чиновник в Петербург.
На едни тъпанари веднъж им думках канчето за Лендлийза. Русия си била платила, моля ти се… Ама ме мързи да го превеждам

Quoting the US senate in 1973:
“The original value of all lend-lease equipment provided the Soviet Union during World War II is estimated at $10.8 billion. This figure excludes both merchant and naval vessels which, for technical reasons, were not included under the lend-lease agreement. In lend-lease settlement negotiations with all our allies, including the Soviet Union, it was our policy to seek payment only for those goods which had usefulness in the civilian economy. After repeated requests for an inventory of these “civilian-type” articles in the Soviet Union went unanswered, the United States estimated their value at approximately $2.6 billion.
In reaching agreements with our other World War II allies, we settled for a percentage of the value of the “civilian-type” equipment. As noted in this testimony to which this explanation is appended, the U.S. Government has made specific settlement offers of $1.3 billion and $800 million. Both offers were rejected by the Soviet Union. Our present negotiations are approaching a figure which will compare favorably with the final terms reached with other lend-lease recipient countries…”
So basically, USA wanted repayment of non-military goods, and USSR did not agree even on that and haggled for decades, while the LL was explicitly stating that repayment had to be done within 5 years after the war end.
In 2006 USSR/Russia finished the process of payment of just 7% of the nominal bill.
But wait! There is more!
The money in 2006 had 18 times less value than in 1945. (I give you that that they paid 48 million in the 70’s and some other installments after the dissolution of USSR)

In reality, USSR/Russia paid <0.5% of the bill.
A HALF OF ONE PERCENT.
