Russia participate in IMF, and that's weird. IMF was one of globalist organisations who actively destroyed Russia after USSR fall forcing insane "reforms" in exchange to the loans.

Russia paid all its debt to IMF, but does not leave that organisation and that was one of the proofs for me, that our government is a globalists shills.

Recently, I have an occasional talk with old buddy (we study in same university long ago) who now is deeply into financial sphere, doing some researches for banks and funds. As he told me, he have some contacts and relations with people in CB and government. When we met and I figured he could give me some clues about what the hell is going on really, I certainly asked him about IMF and around. Why we still there and what the fuck.

He told me following:

It was obvious, that IMF wil have a huge influence over Russia internal affairs while Russia have a debt. So that IMF debt payment was accounted as a high priority task at the top of country administration. When debt was fully paid, there was two parties - one demanded to cut all the ties with fucking IMF, and another argued for continuation. The latter won, and their main arguments was that since we now IMF donors, we have votes in IMF board, we have access to delicate financial information about countries in debt and since Russia is relatively large our vote and quotas are significant enough to interfere with IMF politics for Russia benefits. So, Russia remained in IMF. Since that time, we broke some nefarious plans, get Syria and Serbia out of debt, throw some rivals into more debt and get even more votes, also, pushed into IMF membership rules an statement that part of country quota could be paid in local currency and so on. Participation in IMF allow Russia to interfere with agendas of global crowd and even have some benefits.

His list of achievements was long, and I didn't get half of it due to specific terminology, but his story have some logic. And I checked myself - Serbia and Syria have no IMF debt anymore, and Ukraine was third largest debtor for IMF last year, and may be already second now.

I did not trust that buddy for 100%, really I didn't know him today, after that decades since university, especially taking in account that wealth and rotating around big money and big power change most people a lot, but his story checks out and have sense.

So, if you wondering why Russia is still in IMF, this could be acceptable theory for you.

As for me, I'm not shure. If IMF was a single globalist organisation Russia participate in, it could be valid and probable case. But Russia still a member of many other globalist organisations including those who still create problems and heavily interfere with Russian internal affairs, like WHO, WTO and other terrorist organisations. And for those organisations I didn't see any signs of some noticeable meddling of Russia in their agendas, or using them as IMF and UN for international political games.
