Ultimately, I think the EU and Russia will both do something to collectively bail out Greece.

EU wants to help, because they don't want to see the country fall under the auspices of the Golden Dawn long-term. They don't want to take on the moral hazard of forgiving all the loans, but know that Greece is too important to be left to fall off the wayside.

Russia likely is already drawing up plans to make Greece something like a proxy through the means of under-the-table trade deals and economic investment. If you can give a Greek a job, you can get a Greek's vote. And if you get the Greeks votes, you can shape how they deal with the EU at large.

If I were Greek, I'd vote against this. EU needs to come up with a long-term plan that acknowledges the Greek people have suffered enough.
