There won't be enough rubles owned by borrowers to buy the euros and dollars needed to pay off debts.
I'll bet that some sort of deal to pay off in commodities will be brokered. I can just imagine the fees that the middlemen will command.

LSURussian, what would you say the long term effects of this will be?

If the borrowers have commodities that can be sold for euros or dollars, why would they have to barter with those commodities?

They would just sell the commodities for the hard currency they need and then pay of their loan with the proceeds.

If they don't have commodities that can be sold for a hard currency, then bartering won't help them.
