Russia: do not learn the wrong things from Western Bankers

'Senior western financiers (...) gathered in Moscow on Friday to advise Russia on its efforts to transform Moscow into an international financial centre and steel itself against global market turmoil'. (Financial Times).
But the last thing the Russians should do is listen to the Western banking establishment. Neither factually nor morally its exponents are fit to teach the Russians how to organise a stable banking/financial system. After a near-collapse in 2008 and total uncertainty about the future - what could they lecture about in Moscow? Why not first make sure that the banks in the 'West' get fixed once and for all? The blueprints exist, alas the will is not there (at least not as long as it hurts one's pocket if reforms are wholeheartedly endorsed)
