Moscow is keeping a close eye on the electoral process in Greece and the impact that a victory of SYRIZA may have.

As the statement of the powerful Russian official Alexei Pouskof indicates, the Russians not only consider the electoral battle and the premier monetary issue of the country remaining or not in the eurozone as important, but they believe that it is the key to development of the entire European Union.

According to the Russian official “No matter what Berlin says, Greece’s exit from the eurozone will be the most powerful blow ever for the European Union”.
