No but they're the ones who stood to lose a lot as well and who were piping up about protecting depositors in Cypriot banks. Well the only way to do that is the bailout and Germany, amongst others, have given €10 billion in order to just that. Russia aren't happy? They presumably would be even less happy with the EU took the same route they did and refused any bailout at all.
There is either a bailout or bankruptcy. Let's be clear here, what Russia are unhappy about is that the EU didn't stump up more cash for a bailout and this is a hollow compliant from the country that wanted to contribute nothing when Cyprus asked them.
