The level of debt in Russia was almost insurmountable after World War I. It amounted to 8,000,000,000 rubles. That was more than their economy could produce. These debts were impossible to repay. The new Bolshevik government had to pay part of this. If not then economic trade with Russia would have been severely hampered. Some debts Lenin simply canceled.
