@russian_market: KREMLIN TO "FREEZE ASSETS" OF GERMAN COMPANIES IN RUSSIA AS ANSWER TO EU ON CYPRUS - NEKRASSOV
Head of the Eurogroup of eurozone finance ministers Jeroen Dijsselbloem has spooked global markets by saying the Cyprus bank restructuring deal should be considered a template for the rest of the single currency bloc.

@russian_market: KREMLIN TO "FREEZE ASSETS" OF GERMAN COMPANIES IN RUSSIA AS ANSWER TO EU ON CYPRUS - NEKRASSOV
A Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) “urgent bulletin” being sent to Embassies around the world today is advising both Russian citizens and companies to begin divesting their assets from Western banking and financial institutions “immediately” as Kremlin fears grow that both the European Union and United States are preparing for the largest theft of private wealth in modern history.
According to this “urgent bulletin,” this warning is being made at the behest of Prime Minister Medvedev who earlier today warned against the Western banking systems actions against EU Member Cyprus by stating:
“All possible mistakes that could be made have been made by them, the measure that was proposed is of a confiscation nature, and unprecedented in its character. I can’t compare it with anything but ... decisions made by Soviet authorities ... when they didn’t think much about the savings of their population. But we are living in the 21st century, under market economic conditions. Everybody has been insisting that ownership rights should be respected.”
Medvedev’s statements echo those of President Putin who, likewise, warned about the EU’s unprecedented private asset grab in Cyprus calling it “unjust, unprofessional, and dangerous.”

As soon as I learned that a lot of Russian money was in Cyprus (Putin's money) I knew they weren't going to just sit there and let the EU take it.

No. Fail as always. This is an attempt to intertwine two separate stories and make it appear to be the same thereby giving credence to sorcha faal by association. SF is a known, certified master hoaxer.
Yeah good call,.

And now I will also advise everyone else to do the same. Take your money out now.
I have said many times that to put your life savings behind 3 feet of concrete and steel is insane when you don't have the key.
The little interest you gain is nothing compared to the entire balance which will be stolen.
Peace

So do you think it is a possibility that Russia may "tax" German companies in Russia?

I agree, beyond the "take your money out now" embassy bit, the rest of the information is VERY viable. From what I am seeing the Russians are extremely pissed at the attempt to take their money, that the finance ministers have stated that the Cyprus deal may be a template for other EU nations.
Things appear to be picking up steam. Now I now some of you are saying "Fail" and disregarding the information but to me this is writing on the wall of what may be coming.
