Um... At home... at the computer...

Multiply the prices by 1,000 and we get +/- the current price scale. 45,000 roubles is the salary of an average civil servant in big cities. 20 roubles a loaf is the same as it is now, even a little more expensive.

A sausage was a bit more expensive back then at 800 grams for 380 rubles, but you can't catch a taxi now for 100-150 rubles (in St. Petersburg).

But yes, for 45,000 rubles and now you can live pretty well).

In Soviet times, 70-80s, we paid only 4 kopecks per month for the use of gas in the flat, with a salary of 200-500 rubles per month!

Great! A visual aid for school!
It's so boring in physics.
 
Dmitry Bykov. The Ruble and the Dick /Fable

I had a strange dream yesterday:
The ruble and the cock got together over a drink.

The penis looked up and was outraged:

- What a change you've been waiting for, my dear friend!
How you've wrinkled! How you've stooped!
You've lost your Russian pride!
Look how I stand!
I am greatly excited by an invisible war,
The spirit of the masses has been a great help to me,
All the best in the country is now called by me.
I don't remember anyone calling you "rubble"!
Alas, you have fallen low. You've broken every record,
You've hit fifty, and that's not the limit.
You're so hard,
I'm so hardened,
That I've made all my enemies' faces,
And the rest of them I have mastered.
And in the meantime, by the same behaviour,
You may lead me to your downfall too.
To the hooting and hooting of creaquel scoundrels,
my volume will soon diminish, too.
No longer knows Ulyukayev,
How to find the pluses in your decline!

- Have mercy," says the ruble. - Where to think of a hedge!
You're being licked by everyone, and they're all licking it,
But if, like me, you were dependent on oil.
You'd have fallen, like me.
You're aroused without thinking,
From flattery, from war, from Channel One,
From the cries of the lackeys that the crisis is over.
But with all this you'll make me horny!
Oh, yes, I fall. I'll tell you, without any slander.
I have never fallen so low.
It's not my fault, it's your natural style
To reduce a great country to a village.
I am not the only one you have brought down, but all:
You've brought them down from their knees, and thrown them on all fours.
All round the lowered planks,
Everything has fallen to the neolithic,
All the lowered confusions fall
Of frightened elites,
War and beggars and drunks all around,
The wild inhibitions and holiday tanks.
You don't have a headache about that!
I want to correct you a little.
There's a catch:
You want everything to go down
And only the currency goes up?!
No one in the world has ever been so lucky.
Do you know who you are? You're just...

It's gone.
It's been three minutes since I fell asleep.
I woke up to the words of a dropped currency.
There was a pall of rain outside the windows,
Everything was hovering and the whole country
Was suspended in the jets of the night's downpour.
It was only night, as if naively
Willed to stay for all time.

Dmitry Bykov. Ruble and Dick /Fable/.

...
The falling rouble will benefit our industry and agriculture. Because of the expensive currency, most Russians will spend their holidays in their own country, which will be just as beneficial to the developmentof the domestic tourismindustry. That is the moral of this fable. We will survive the temporary difficulties, but the main thing is for domestic producers to use this favourable situation effectively.

And those who do not use it effectively - to the stake!
