Could this be in Russia defaults on its debt? Before the revolution, czarist Russia regularly sold bonds abroad to finance the country's economic development.
The loans helped finance 40,000 miles of railroad, including the Trans-Siberian, as well as ports, factories and some of Moscow's and St. Petersburg's most magnificent buildings.
In France, where most of the bonds were issued, families were inspired by high interest rates and a government advertising blitz to support Russia as part of a pre-World War I alliance against Germany.
"Russia needed financial aid and our government asked us to help. If you were a good citizen, you went to the bank and you bought Russian bonds," said Suzanne Estival, 87, whose grandfather bought 100.
