Therublewas the currency of theRussian Empireand of theSoviet Union(as theSoviet ruble). In 1992, the currency imagery underwent a redesign as a result of thefall of the Soviet Union.The first Russian ruble (code: RUR) replaced theSoviet ruble(code: SUR) in September 1993at par.

On 1 January 1998, preceding theRussian financial crisis,the ruble wasredenominatedwith the new code "RUB" and was exchanged at the rate of 1 RUB = 1,000 RUR.

History

edit
Main article:Ruble

Therublehas been used in the Russian territories since the 14th century,[2]and is the second-oldest currency still in circulation, behindsterling.[3] Initially an uncoined unit of account, the ruble became a circulating coin in 1704 just before the establishment of theRussian Empire.It was also the first currency in Europe to bedecimalisedin 1704, when it was divided into 100 kopecks. The ruble has seen several incarnations and redenominations during its history, the latest of which is the introduction in 1998 of the current Russian ruble (code: RUB) at the rate of 1 RUB = 1,000 RUR.

RUR (1992–1998)

edit
Further information:Soviet rubleandMonetary reform in Russia, 1993

Following thedissolution of the Soviet Unionin 1991, theSoviet rubleremained the currency of the Russian Federation until 1992. A new set of coins was issued in 1992 and a new set of banknotes was issued in the name ofBank of Russiain 1993. The currency replaced the Soviet ruble at par and was assigned theISO 4217code RUR and number 810.

The ruble's exchange rate versus theU.S. dollardepreciated significantly from US$1 = 125 RUR in July 1992 to approximately US$1 = 6,000 RUR when the currency was redenominated in 1998.

RUR coins

edit

After the fall of the Soviet Union, the Russian Federation introduced new coins in 1992 in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 rubles. The coins depict the double-headed eagle without a crown, sceptre and globus cruciger above the legend "Банк России" ( "Bank of Russia" ). It is exactly the same eagle that the artistIvan Bilibinpainted after theFebruary Revolutionas the coat of arms for theRussian Republic.[4]The 1 and 5-ruble coins were minted in brass-clad steel, the 10 and 20-ruble coins in cupro-nickel, and the 50 and 100-ruble coins were bimetallic (aluminium-bronze and cupro-nickel-zinc). In 1993, aluminium-bronze 50-ruble coins and cupro-nickel-zinc 100-ruble coins were issued, and the material of 10 and 20-ruble coins was changed to nickel-plated steel. In 1995 the material of 50-ruble coins was changed to brass-plated steel, but the coins were minted with the old date 1993. As high inflation persisted, the lowest denominations disappeared from circulation and the other denominations became rarely used.

During this period, the commemorative one-ruble coins were regularly issued continuing the specifications of prior commemorativeSoviet rubles(31 mm diameter, 12.8 grams cupronickel). It is nearly identical to those of the 5-Swiss franccoin (31.45 mm, 13.2 g cupronickel), worth approx. €4.39 or US$5.09 as of August 2018. For this reason, there have been several instances of (now worthless) Soviet and Russian ruble coinsbeing used on a large scale todefraudautomated vending machines in Switzerland.[5]

RUR banknotes

edit

In 1961, new State Treasury notes were introduced for 1, 3 and 5 rubles, along with new State Bank notes worth 10, 25, 50, and 100 rubles. In 1991, the State Bank took over production of 1, 3 and 5-ruble notes and also introduced 200, 500 and 1,000-ruble notes, although the 25-ruble note was no longer issued. In 1992, a final issue of notes was made bearing the name of the USSR before the Russian Federation introduced 5,000 and 10,000-ruble notes. These were followed by 50,000-ruble notes in 1993, 100,000 rubles in 1995 and, finally, 500,000 rubles in 1997 (dated 1995).

Since the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, Russian ruble banknotes and coins have been notable for their lack of portraits, which traditionally were included under both the Tsarist and Communist regimes. With the issue of the 500-ruble note depicting a statue ofPeter Iand then the 1,000-ruble note depicting a statue ofYaroslav,the lack of recognizable faces on the currency has been partially alleviated.

RUB (1998–present)

edit
See also:Monetary reform in Russia, 1998

In 1998, the Russian ruble wasredenominatedwith the newISO 4217code "RUB" and number 643 and was exchanged at the rate of 1 RUB = 1,000 RUR. All Soviet coins issued between 1961 and 1991, as well as 1-, 2- and 3-kopeck coins issued before 1961, also qualified for exchange into new rubles.[6]

The redenomination was an administrative step that reduced the unwieldiness of the old ruble[7]but occurred on the brink of the1998 Russian financial crisis.[8]The ruble lost 70% of its value against the US dollar in the six months following this financial crisis, from US$1 = 6 ₽ to approximately 20 ₽.[9]

After stabilizing at around US$1 = 30 ₽ from 2001 to 2013, it depreciated to the range of US$1 = 60-80 ₽ from 2014 to 2021 as a result of theAnnexation of Crimea by the Russian Federationin 2014 and the2010s oil glut.After the2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine,it declined further to US$1 = 110 ₽ due tosanctions.[10]

The ruble was subject to fluctuation when, in April 2022, the ruble went above its pre-warlevel after falling as low as 150 ₽ per dollar in early March,[11]with the longer-term trend showing a steady decline from mid-2022 to mid-2023, falling from 60 ₽ to 90 ₽ per dollar.[12]

On 15 July 2024 theCentral Bank of the Russian Federationclosed the statistics of the over-the-counter currency market,[13]and three days later the sale of ruble-note artwork ontoilet paperwas banned by a judge from Moscow.[14]

Symbol

edit
Main article:Ruble sign
Not to be confused with the Armenian letterք.
The ruble sign since 2013
The "ruble" symbol used throughout the 17th century, composed of the Russian letters "Р"and"У".

A currency symbol was used for the ruble between the 16th century and the 18th century. The symbol consisted of theRussian letters"Р"(rotated 90° anti-clockwise) and"У"(written on top of it). The symbol was placed over the amount number it belonged to.[15]This symbol, however, fell into disuse by the mid-19th century.[16]

No official symbol was used during the final years of the Empire, nor was one introduced in theSoviet Union.The abbreviationsRbl(plural:Rbls) in Latin[17][18]andруб.(Cyrillic) and the simple charactersR(Latin)[19][20][21]andр(Cyrillic) were used. These are still used today, though are unofficial.[22]

In July 2007, theCentral Bank of Russiaannounced that it would decide on a symbol for the ruble and would test 13 symbols. This included the symbol РР (the initials ofРоссийский Рубль"Russian ruble" ), which received preliminary approval from the Central Bank.[23]However, one more symbol, a Р with a horizontal stroke below the top similar to thePhilippine pesosign, was proposed unofficially.[23]Proponents of the new sign claimed that it is simple, recognizable and similar to other currency signs.[24][25][26]This symbol is also similar to the Armenian letterքor the Latin letterꝐ.

On 11 December 2013, the official symbol for the ruble became,aCyrillic letterErwith a single added horizontal stroke,[27][better source needed]though the abbreviation "руб." is in wide use.

On 4 February 2014, the Unicode Technical Committee during its 138th meeting inSan JoseacceptedU+20BD₽RUBLE SIGNsymbol forUnicodeversion 7.0;[28]the symbol was then included into Unicode 7.0 released on 16 June 2014.[29]In August 2014,Microsoftissued updates for all of its mainstream versions of Microsoft Windows that enabled support for the new ruble sign.[30]

The ruble sign can be entered on aRussian computer keyboardasAltGr+8onWindowsandLinux,orAltGr+Р(QwertyHposition) onmacOS.

Kopeck coins are rarely used due to their low value and in some cases may not be accepted by stores or individuals.

These coins were issued starting in 1998, although some of them bear the year 1997. Kopeck denominations all depictSt Georgeand the Dragon, and all ruble denominations (with the exception of commemorative pieces) depict the double headed eagle. Mint marks are denoted by "СП" or "M" on kopecks and the logo of either the Saint Petersburg or Moscow mint on rubles. Since 2000, many bimetallic 10 ₽ circulating commemorative coins have been issued. These coins have a unique holographic security feature inside the "0" of the denomination 10.[citation needed]

In 2008, the Bank of Russia proposed withdrawing 1 and 5 kopeck coins from circulation and subsequently rounding all prices to multiples of 10 kopeks, although the proposal has not been realized yet (though characteristic"x.99" pricesare treated as rounded in exchange).[citation needed]The Bank of Russia stopped minting one-kopeck and five-kopeck coins in 2012, and kopecks completely in 2018.[33]

The material of 1 ₽, 2 ₽ and 5 ₽ coins was switched from copper-nickel-zinc and copper-nickel clad to nickel-plated steel in the second quarter of 2009. 10 and 50 kopecks were also changed from brass to brass-plated steel.[citation needed]

In October 2009, a new 10 ₽ coin made of brass-plated steel was issued, featuring optical security features.[34]The 10 ₽ banknote would have been withdrawn in 2012, but a shortage of 10 ₽ coins prompted the Central Bank to delay this and put new ones in circulation.[35]Bimetallic commemorative 10-ruble coins will continue to be issued.[citation needed]

A series of circulating Olympic commemorative 25 ₽ coins started in 2011. The new coins are struck incupronickel.[36]A number of commemorative smaller denominations of these coins exist in circulation as well, depicting national historic events and anniversaries.

The Bank of Russia issues other commemorative non-circulating coins ranging from 1 ₽ to 50,000 ₽.[37]

Banknotes

edit

On 1 January 1998, a new series of banknotes dated 1997 was released in denominations of 5 ₽, 10 ₽, 50 ₽, 100 ₽ and 500 ₽. The 1,000 ₽ banknote was first issued on 1 January 2001 and the 5,000₽ banknote was first issued on 31 July 2006. Modifications to the series were made in 2001, 2004, and 2010.

In April 2016, theCentral Bank of Russiaannounced that it will introduce two new banknotes – 200 ₽ and 2,000 ₽ — in 2017.[38]In September 2016, a vote was held to decide which symbols and cities will be displayed on the new notes.[39]In February 2017, theCentral Bank of Russiaannounced the new symbols. The 200₽ banknote will feature symbols ofCrimea:theMonument to the Sunken Ships,a view ofSevastopol,and a view ofChersonesus.The 2,000₽ banknote will bear images of theRussian Far East:the bridge toRussky Islandand theVostochny Cosmodromein theAmur Oblast.[40]

In 2018, the Central Bank issued a 100 ₽ "commemorative" banknote designed to recognize Russia's role as the host of the2018 World Cupsoccer tournament. The banknote is printed on a polymer substrate, and has several transparent portions as well as a hologram. Despite the note being intended for legal tender transactions, the Central Bank has simultaneously refused to allow the country's automated teller machines (ATMs) to recognize or accept it.[41]

In March 2021, the Central Bank announced plans to gradually update the designs of the 10 ₽, 50 ₽, 100 ₽, 1,000 ₽ and 5,000 ₽ banknotes and make them more secure; this is expected to be completed in 2025.[42]

The first new design, for the 100 ₽ note, was unveiled on 30 June 2022.[43]The design of the new note includes symbols of Moscow on the obverse -Red Square,Zaryadye Park,Moscow State UniversityonSparrow Hills,andOstankino Tower- and theRzhev Memorial to the Soviet Soldieron the reverse.[44]

In late 2022, the Central Bank resumed the printing of 5-ruble and 10-ruble notes for circulation; freshly printed notes began appearing in 2023.[45]

All Russian ruble banknotes are currently printed at thestate-owned factoryGoznakin Moscow, which was founded on 6 June 1919 and operated ever since. Coins aremintedin theMoscow Mintand at theSaint Petersburg Mint,which has been operating since 1724.

100 ₽ note controversy

edit
An image of the 100-ruble banknote, zoomed up to show a statue of the Greek godApolloas depicted on top of theBolshoi Theatrein Moscow; this version of Apollo is shown with his penis and testicles exposed (which was the case on the Bolshoi Theatre at the time of printing, though the original statue was amended with afig leafcovering them) which led to one Russian politician,Roman Khudyakov,to condemn the banknote as "pornography."

On 8 July 2014,State Dumadeputy and vice-chairman of the Duma Regional Political CommitteeRoman Khudyakovalleged that the image of the Greek godApollodriving aQuadrigaon the portico of theBolshoi TheatreinMoscowon the 100 ₽ banknote constitutespornographythat should only be available to persons over the age of 18. Since it is impractical to limit the access of minors to banknotes, he requested in his letter to theGovernor of the Bank of RussiaElvira Nabiullinato immediately change the design of the banknote.[49]

Khudyakov, a member of parliament for the LDPR party stated, "You can clearly see that Apollo is naked, you can see his genitalia. I submitted a parliamentary request and forwarded it directly to the head of the central bank asking for the banknote to be brought into line with the law protecting children and to remove this Apollo."[50][51]Khudyakov's efforts did not lead to any changes being made to the design.

Crimea controversy

edit

On 13 October 2017, theNational Bank of Ukraineissued a decree forbidding the country's banks, other financial institutions and Ukraine's state postal service to circulate Russian banknotes which use images ofCrimea,a territory that is regarded asRussian-occupiedby Ukraine and whose annexation by Russia is not recognised by most UN member states.[52]The NBU stated that the ban applies to all financial operations, including cash transactions, currency exchange activities and interbank trade.[53]Crimea is featured on three banknotes that are currently in circulation – the 100 ₽ commemorative notes issued in 2015 and 2018, as well as the 200 ₽ note issued in 2017.

1,000 ₽ note controversy

edit

On 16 October 2023, the day of unveilling of the new design of the 1,000-ruble note, the design of the note was criticised by theRussian Orthodox Churchfor displaying theIslamic crescenton one of the buildings on the reverse of the note at the same time as excluding theOrthodox crossfrom a different building (a former church that is now a museum).[54]The Bank of Russia claimed that the image was not selected to provoke or disregard any faith, but announced on the following day that the design would be revised and the notes would not be printed.[citation needed]

Effect of international sanctions

edit

Kommersantreported that the new 100 ₽ note introduced in 2022 will not work with an estimated 60% of cash registers and bank machines because they are imported and therefore must be updated by foreign companies, and this work may not be completed due to sanctions.[55][56]However, Russian banks have been transferring their ATM networks to domestic software which does not require foreign specialists since at least 2018, with the biggest Russian bank,Sberbank,completing 80% of the transfer by June 2022.[57]Russian banks will start purchasing domestic ATMs withElbrusprocessors in 2023, the mandatory share of Russian products in the purchase of ATMs was to be at least 18% for banks with state partnership, since 2022 it has grown to 20%.[58]

International trade

edit

On 23 November 2010, at a meeting ofRussian Prime MinisterVladimir PutinandChinese PremierWen Jiabao,it was announced that Russia and China had decided to use their ownnational currenciesforbilateral trade,instead of the US dollar. The move is aimed to further improve relations between Beijing and Moscow and to protect their domestic economies during theGreat Recession.The trading of theChinese yuanagainst the ruble has started in the Chinese interbank market, while the yuan's trading against the ruble was set to start on the Russianforeign exchange marketin December 2010.[62][better source needed]

In January 2014,PresidentPutin said there should be a sound balance on the ruble exchange rate; that the Central Bank only regulated the national currency exchange rate when it went beyond the upper or lower limits of the floating exchange rate; and that the freer the Russian national currency is, the better it is, adding that this would make the economy react more effectively and timely to processes taking place in it.[63]

The first Russian ruble (RUR) introduced in January 1992 depreciated significantly versus theUS dollarfrom US$1 = 125 RUR to around US$1 = 6,000 RUR (or 6 RUB) when it was redenominated in January 1998. The new ruble then depreciated rapidly in its first year to US$1 = 20 RUB before stabilizing at around US$1 = 30 RUB from 2001 to 2013.

Thefinancial crisisin Russia in 2014–2016 was the result of thecollapseof the Russian ruble beginning in the second half of 2014.[64][65][66][67][68][69]A decline in confidence in theRussian economycaused investors to sell off their Russian assets, which led to a decline in the value of the Russian ruble and sparked fears of a Russian financial crisis. The lack of confidence in the Russian economy stemmed from at least two major sources. The first is the fall in theprice of oilin 2014.Crude oil,a majorexportof Russia, declined in price by nearly 50% between its yearly high in June 2014 and 16 December 2014. The second was the result ofinternational economic sanctions imposed on Russiafollowing Russia'sannexation of Crimeaand theRussian military intervention in Ukraine.[64][70]

The crisis affected the Russian economy, both consumers and companies, and regional financial markets, as well as Putin's ambitions regarding theEurasian Economic Union.The Russianstock marketin particular experienced large declines, with a 30% drop in theRTS Indexfrom the beginning of December through 16 December 2014. From July 2014 to February 2015 the ruble fell dramatically against the U.S. dollar. A 6.5 percentage point interest rate rise to 17 percent[71]failed to prevent the currency hitting record lows in a "perfect storm" of low oil prices, looming recession andinternational sanctionsover theRusso-Ukrainian War.[72]

Russia facedsteep economic sanctionsdue to theinvasion of Ukrainein early 2022. In response to the military campaign, several countries imposed strict economic sanctions on the Russian economy.[d]This led to a 32 percent drop in the value of the ruble, which traded at an exchange rate of 120 rubles per dollar in March 2022.[10]On 23 March 2022, President Putin announced that Russia would only accept payments for Russian gas exports from“unfriendly countries”in rubles.[73]This, along with several other actions to control capital flow, coinciding with soaring commodity prices led to the ruble rallying to a record high in May 2022 that economists feel is unlikely to last.[74]However, the ruble continued to rally in June 2022, hitting its highest point (51 rubles to the dollar) for the past seven years at the end of the month.[75]
