rouble trouble

[neversaydi]

Does anyone know the present day value of 1,000 Russian roubles spent in the 1920s?

Not a complete answer to your question, but here is a reference to the value in 1915, based on a report by a British citizen in Russia:

It is at the and and says 1rouble was valued at 2s9d then......

You should also look at the Wikipedia article which shows how complicated a calculation this could be:

Hope this helps a bit!

and the plural of rouble is not roubles it is roublee - ask any Russian

Many thanks Androcles - sorry to be so long in acknowledging your reply. I understand now why it would be so complex!
