The same morning that [[Ricky Ross]]'s money launderer was writing to the IRS about Blandón's drug operations, President Ronald Reagan and Attorney General Edwin Meese were announcing to reporters that millions of dollars from missile sales to the Iranian government had been illegally diverted to the Contras. The Iran-Contra scandal was "bursting open at the seams," and suddenly the strange papers found in [[Danilo Blandon|Blandón]]'s and [[Ron Lister]]'s houses during earlier raids took on new significance. The crash of a C-123K cargo plane over [[Nicaragua]] in October 1986, which had been based at Ilopango Air Base in [[San Salvador]], broke the scandal wide open.[^2]

Russia (the Russian Federation) is the world's largest country by area, spanning eleven time zones across northern Eurasia from the Baltic to the Pacific. The Russian Federation emerged from the dissolution of the [[Soviet Union]] on December 25, 1991, when the Soviet flag was lowered over the Kremlin in [[Moscow]] for the last time. Russia inherited the Soviet Union's permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council, its nuclear arsenal (under START treaty limitations), and the bulk of Soviet institutional infrastructure - including its intelligence agencies.[^1]
