Russians who took out mortgages denominated in a foreign currency are protesting at their banks to demand that the loans be restructured. They chose foreign currency mortgages years ago to take advantage of lower interest rates abroad, but when Russia's currency collapsed, the cost of repaying those mortgages skyrocketed.
