The deep political dimension is that much of the money in Cyprus banks is Russian mafia money.

As always, ordinary people are "collateral damage".
Yes, I'm aware many rich Russians bank there [for some reason], but as far as I know, EVERYONE with the exception of Greeks [who are being screwed by other means] who bank there have 10% taken. 10% will never hurt a wealthy person, but could someone with little money. Also, it seems to be illegal to suddenly secretly netotiate an expost facto 'tax' on other's bank accounts. Illegality never stopped the Oligarchy..in fact, it seems to inspire them to bigger and badder things.
