Dollar for 40

How social networks reacted to another record dollar exchange rate against the ruble

On October 6, at the opening of trading on the Moscow Exchange, the dollar exchange rate broke the 40 ruble mark for the first time. Users of social networks did not miss the opportunity to be ironic on this topic.

On the morning of October 6, it became known that the value of the dollar exceeded the historical maximum of 40 rubles. This is associated with a shortage of foreign currency and a decrease in oil prices. By 10:20 Moscow time, the currency was valued on the Moscow Exchange at 40.03 rubles, which was 7 kopecks higher than the previous close.

Another record for the dollar exchange rate caused a heated discussion on Twitter. For example, a flash mob was launched on Alexei Navalny’s account with a proposal to write poetry on a given topic.

For the first time in history, a dollar costs more than forty rubles. I'm waiting for new Twitter poems with the ending "Dollar - forty, euro - fifty"

Readers of the account responded enthusiastically.

@navalny The dollar will be 48, we won’t give it up anyway!

@navalny in the spring of 15, the currency began to tire: they want 210 for the dollar, 350 for the euro

@navalny I see bonfires made of books, I hear shepherd dogs barking... A dollar for 40? Instantly! Euro 50? Let's!

On Twitter people began to joke about the new course, including playing on cultural cliches.

So what if the dollar is 40. After all, life after forty is just beginning...

Dollar - 40 rubles. But celebrating the 40th anniversary is a bad omen. Let's celebrate when we hit fifty dollars. pic.twitter.com/UEGx02MGOI

A funny observation: if you don’t go on Twitter in the morning, but first have breakfast and brush your teeth, you won’t have time to make a joke about the dollar.

The value of the dollar in rubles is equal to the strength of vodka in degrees.

If the dollar continues to rise, soon a quarter of Russia's population will find themselves working for a hundred bucks a month.

In mid-September, the rise in the value of currencies already caused a similar flash mob on Russian-language Twitter. The dollar exchange rate at that time rose above 38 rubles.
