I wonder how many Cypriot MP's have moved money out of Cyprus into other banks in the last few weeks ?

The MPs are probably surprised too. This doesn't seem to have been a well-thought out plan.
As for the Russians. I don't really know the extent to which their interests are linked up with Cyprus. I do think that the Cypriot people may want to find ways to express their rightful anger at this plan other than making anti-German slogans. If you were a voter in Germany and you were being asked to bailout another country that didn't live within it's means and then saw it's people slagging you off you might be a bit peeved.
