Greece is between a rock and a hard place. Having wasted the chance to make a clean sweep, default and restructure, it is now dependent on foreign help. The good news is it has a few countries to choose from.
This week, Greek premier Tsipras visited Vladimir Putin in the Kremlin to discuss how the two countries can cooperate.
Although the terms were kept rather general, it is clear what both parties want. Putin wants Greece to cooperate on its new Turkish Stream pipeline project, which is supposed to deliver gas to Europe via Turkey and Greece.
Greece hopes to get several things from Russia, some of them inconceivable, some of them realistic.
