Chopped paper

So the dollar rose to 33 rubles . Just a year ago, the Central Bank set the official dollar exchange rate at 27 rubles 98 kopecks.

In total, ruble deposits and incomes of Russians depreciated by 16% over the year.

Citizens working in the Russian Federation for a salary can congratulate themselves on the fact that they worked for free for 57 days over the past year. Or rather, their earnings during these 57 days were gobbled up by the sovereign devaluation. And even no references to the weakening of the euro due to the Greek collapse will help here, because the euro has also risen in price since 05/31/11. Not as much as the dollar, but still 40 kopecks. In order not to upset anyone in vain, I will modestly keep silent about how much the ruble has fallen in value against the yuan .

But the statist citizens who have polluted state channels and the Internet with their prophecies that the dollar will soon and inevitably collapse can congratulate themselves on their successful deception of their gullible compatriots. It must be assumed that the predictors themselves placed their savings according to their minds, and not at the call of their patriotic heart.
