    I agree with you. However, the whole thing looks to me more like Тришкин Кафтан.

    As someone who witnessed the fall of the Soviet Union, I would respectfully disagree that could qualify to be named iceberg. As usual, when the debt would go out of control, they would just cancel it and make us all pay for it. That's all. It's not like there would be no veggies in the corner store except for the pickled tomatoes in the 5-liter jars.

    «Сестрица! знаешь ли, беда!—
    На корабле Мышь Мыши говорила,—
    Ведь оказалась течь: внизу у нас вода
    Чуть не хватила
    До самого мне рыла.
    (А правда, так она лишь лапки замочила.)
    И что диковинки — наш капитан
    Или с похмелья, или пьян.
    Матросы все — один ленивее другого;
    Ну, словом, нет порядку никакого.
    Сейчас кричала я во весь народ,
    Что ко дну наш корабль идет:
    Куда!— Никто и ухом не ведет,
    Как будто б ложные я распускала вести;
    А ясно — только в трюм лишь стоит заглянуть,
    Что кораблю часа не дотянуть.
    Сестрица! неужли нам гибнуть с ними вместе!
    Пойдем же, кинемся скорее с корабля;
    Авось не далеко земля!»
    Тут в Океан мои затейницы спрыгнули
    И — утонули;
    А наш корабль, рукой искусною водим,
    Достигнул пристани и цел и невредим.

    Иван Крылов, 1832

    It's not the whole iceberg: just a small tip of it. The iceberg has a lot of underwater hidden mass. They certainly have been making us pay for it. But that is not the whole story.
