Transferring old rubles to new ones. USSR ruble

10.10.2019

Evaluate for yourself whether your level of income has increased compared to socialist times: in the USSR there were small salaries, but big income. These incomes included free housing, medicine, education, low prices for transport and housing and communal services, and subsidized recreation. Income of 1 ruble per Soviet times- not a small amount, but 100 rubles - almost a fortune

Let's try to analyze and compare what could be bought with one Soviet ruble and compare it in terms of purchasing power with the ruble of “free Russia”

The average pension is 75-120 rubles. Today exchange rate = 94(considering the average pension of 7,100 rubles)
(for some professions 178 rubles)

The average salary is 196 rubles. Today exchange rate = 104(average salary is 20.383 rub. )
(1986, without additional payments and benefits, according to the State Statistics Service)

Everything below the indicated rates corresponds to the level of time consumption Soviet Union. Anything above means that this service is unavailable.

It turns out that under a liberal regime you can drink vodka, smoke cigarettes, drink beer, eat sprat in tomato and colonial fruits. The purchase of milk is already beyond the income limits. “Zhiguli” cars have become almost 3 times more accessible, while communication is inaccessible, printed information and travel on transport are practically inaccessible, recreation, entertainment are absolutely inaccessible (instead of a movie ticket, people simply get drunk), and household services. Thus, all the “privileges of access to consumer paradise” - i.e. “availability of a number of goods” - are actually a beautiful fairy tale, since money is siphoned out of the population by paid medicine, education and fabulously expensive utilities. At the same time, people in the USSR received housing for free. Today, the cost of apartments tends to reach “exorbitant distances”...

By the way, the main weapon of capitalism is the personal bribery of each individual with a beautiful fairy tale about personal consumption. Therefore, if you proceed from the principle - " your shirt is closer to your body"and you are not concerned about the general situation in the country, the continuing growth of the decel coefficient (the income gap between the richest 10% and the poorest 10%), which inevitably leads to social unrest, then you can personally calculate for yourself whether your level of income has increased , compared to socialist times, according to the following formula:

(Current earnings / 20.383)*104 = N

Compare the resulting number “N” with the second column of the table or with the “exchange rate”. In Soviet times, you would not have been able to afford anything higher than this amount. It is interesting that the cost of utility costs corresponds to the income of Soviet times, wages today should be equal to 245,000 rubles. Evaluate for yourself whether you will be able to receive that much in the near future and whether there are prospects for receiving such income.

The Russian Federation, as the legal successor of the USSR, also inherited the right to return those loans that third countries did not manage to return to the USSR. Therefore, the Soviet ruble is still officially quoted.

We go to the website of the Bank of Russia, with difficulty using a search we find information about the USSR ruble, and finally we click on the “Get data” button (and why so many precautions, I wonder?). And we fix:

Those. for the current dollar you can pay no more than 56 Soviet kopecks. As it once was. How many times was the Soviet ruble more valuable than the current one? If in relation to today's dollar (57 rubles), then 102 times.

However, even more interesting is the conversion through gold. Ruble model after 1961, i.e. post-reform, cost 0.987412 grams of gold. Depending on the current exchange rate of gold and the dollar, we get about 50 dollars for 1 Soviet ruble.

If we count at the official dollar exchange rate, then the average salary in the USSR in 1988, which then rose to 200 rubles, should today be about 20,400 rubles. RF. Last year it amounted to 28 thousand rubles.

If you thoughtlessly compare these figures, you get the impression that life has become better and more fun. But upon closer inspection, the blissful impression is forced to disappear.

For example, to pay for housing and communal services in the USSR, 2.5 percent of a family’s income was spent, today more than 11 percent. Those. Only 25,500 rubles fall into your hands. Thus, the excess of today's wages over the Soviet one is about 5 thousand rubles.

Again it seems that today is better than then, in Soviet era: We live richer, statistics!

But no statistical delights of market supporters take into account the Soviet public consumption fund. Today, in these 5 thousand rubles of difference, in order to maintain the Soviet standard of living, you must take into account the payment:
medicine, education, pioneer camps, kindergarten, holidays in a sanatorium, interest on loans...

Moreover, note that none of the market experts talks about the general deterioration in the health of the population, and especially children, associated, among other things, with the sharply deteriorating quality of consumed food products, being in an atmosphere that is permeated every moment by many invisible, but extremely harmful health radiation of different powers.

Many young people in Russia don’t even know what a real delicious cheese! The most expensive and delicious at that time, of course, was Swiss cheese at 3.90 rubles per kilogram. But it really was cheese! And today even in Western Europe You are unlikely to find real cheese easily. Cheese mass - as much as you like. And, yes, its quality today is higher than in Russia. But all the same: this is not cheese, but a surrogate for it.

However, like everything market is a surrogate for the true. And this is not an emotional outburst from a person who knows both that and our time. Try to find a market product/products that were simultaneously, or at least in several respects at once:

Safe for consumption;
- safe for nature during production, i.e. environmentally friendly;
- durable;
- ergonomic;
- healthy/tasty, and without the addition of flavor enhancers;
- produced under socially acceptable production conditions, i.e. without loss of health by employees;
- finally, affordable for anyone who works full time.

The list is, of course, not exhaustive.

Do you have such a product or thing? Name it, please: I’ll start saving... rubles to buy.

If, before restructuring, to purchase a cooperative apartment of 54 sq. m. meter it was necessary to accumulate 2.6 annual salaries, then in 2009 earnings for 4.6 years were already required. Moreover, this is data from the Higher School of Economics, which actively advocates for the market! Those. Surely these data are biased: market realities are embellished, and Soviet realities are belittled.

Moreover, the same group from HSE, led by Mr. Yasina stated that according to the situation in 2009, 20% of the population did not gain anything from the imposition of the market, while 40% clearly lost. Otherwise, almost 2/3 of the people have nothing market economy didn't see anything good. Unless, of course, you consider indelible advertisements on sidewalks about the services of prostitutes or the introduction of the Bologna system with the Unified State Examination to be good.

Therefore, if the average salary in the USSR, when the highest paid positions did not exceed the lowest paid ones by about 5-6 times, then today’s average salary has absorbed the millions in income of various officials and oligarchs, so that for most people these same 28,000 rubles are really inaccessible, according to at least outside of Moscow.

And as we see, taking into account the structure of expenses that has changed not in favor of the people, real wages, their purchasing power, if we do not forget about public funds consumption is clearly below Soviet levels.

However, we completely missed the golden factor, i.e. recalculation of the value of the Soviet ruble to today's dollar at the gold rate. Let us remind you that the then ruble today, if you look at this precious metal, is worth 50 dollars!

Otherwise, if by some miracle your salary reaches the average, i.e. is 491, well, let’s say 500 dollars, then this means that you earned... the equivalent of 10 then Soviet rubles!)))

I remember that during perestroika they strongly pushed the idea that our ruble was made of wood. And how many jokes have been made about this!!!

I especially remember this one:

Soviet tourists in Paris visit a brothel. Suddenly, a woman’s scream is heard from one room. The owner of the establishment comes running.
- Madeleine, why are you screaming? You know that the customer is always right! Why did you call me?
- So, madam, these clients wanted to pay me... in Soviet rubles!!!

So, various “Ogonki” and “AiFs” with “Literary Women”, Yakovlevs and Zaslavskys - drop by drop poured ideological poison into the consciousness of the Soviet people of that time.

What did this lead to? To the fact that we all found ourselves in... a market, otherwise - a surrogate world. Where the dollar and the absence of correct, original meanings rule.

And how much a dollar really costs, and how much a ruble is worth - we will soon find out. When will Trump default?.

P.S. Thanks to my colleague from E&M A. Berberov,

#Tags: Soviet deposits, collapse of the USSR, Sberbank, Tribunal

Useful information for owners of Soviet deposits (USSR savings books) and clients of the current Sberbank.

On the official website of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation there is a section “Official rates of the State Bank of the USSR of foreign currencies in relation to the ruble, used in payment and settlement relations of the Russian Federation with foreign countries under trade and credit agreements of the former USSR.”

So, from this information it follows that as of December 2010:

100 US dollars corresponds to 50.59 Soviet rubles, and if we take into account the current exchange rate of the Russian ruble ( 30.9831

Russian ruble per US dollar), it turns out that 1 Soviet ruble = 61.24 Russian ruble. It's officially recognized! It is clear that the rate can be higher, for example, it is necessary to compare purchasing power taking into account those benefits that have now become paid.

Now - passbooks. Let’s say that 20 years ago there were 5,000 Soviet rubles on it (which was commonplace), which at the exchange rate = 306 thousand Russian rubles.

But that's not all. We also need to take into account interest (let’s say 5 modest percent per annum) - Gref (the current owner of Sberbank) does not lend money for free for 20 years. In total, it turns out that over 20 years, 5,000 Soviet rubles turn into 812,486 Russian rubles (almost a million).

Usually in the courts it is customary to also demand moral compensation (and everyone has moral anguish over lost money), which, as a rule, is equal to the amount of the claim. That is, that million doubles. In principle, it seems that in the USSR you can buy an apartment for 5,000 rubles and now for 2 million.

Thus, Gref owes each owner of the USSR savings book approximately two million rubles.

I don’t think that all the property of Sberbank of the Russian Federation will be enough to fully pay off its debts. There won't be enough money in the bins, no marble offices, no green toilets, no Maybach-Bentleys with drivers, no villas with yachts... For some reason I imagine a Greek kidney with a spleen in it three liter jar with saline solution as collateral - until the debt is fully repaid.

Addition

In fact, the rate of 61.24 is the very minimum, these “they” calculated. Now we'll do the math. It can be seen that for food (prices - Moscow, summer 2010) the exchange rate varies from approximately 80 to 200 - and this does not take into account the significant difference in the quality of food and the last autumn rise in price! Next - prices for housing and communal services and transport, rate 500 and above, apartments - 960! So, gentlemen bourgeois, something is wrong with you.

True, the rate for drugs (tobacco, alcohol, and now especially television) is significantly lower than the bourgeois rate, which is not surprising.

	USSR	RF	Ratio (rate, 1 sov ruble to Russian ruble)	Current equivalent of 5000 sov rubles in modern Russian rubles

The current equivalent of 5,000 Soviet rubles was calculated similarly to that calculated earlier - taking into account the capitalization of interest for 20 years (5% per annum) and moral compensation = 2.0. Thus, duty "democrats" - privatizers(they are also bourgeois capitalists), includingGref, already amounts toat leastfrom 2.5 to 25 million Russian rubles for every 5 thousand stolen Soviet rubles. But that's not all.

And these are just the stolen deposits.

The counter has been ticking for 20 years, and the interest is growing.

Of course, voluntarily, within the framework current system, the bourgeoisie will never give up the loot. That's right, that's not why they robbed. Even the most naive cannot hope for “their judgment” now.

Only, apparently, the bourgeoisie forgot about their historical experience. We’ll have to remind them about him, the hour of reckoning is approaching.

The country began minting metal money dedicated to anniversaries quite late - in 1965. Before this, anniversaries were celebrated modestly. In addition, the age of the stronghold of socialism was very young. And in 1965, a solid occasion appeared - the 20th anniversary of the victory over Nazi Germany.

Anniversary firstborn

Such a date had to be celebrated on a grand scale. Moreover, life in the country has become quite prosperous. By those standards, of course. It was then that the first-born of the land of the Soviets came out - the ruble coin. It is worth saying that this denomination was used most often in money dedicated to significant dates. Coins of a different denomination appeared only in 1987, when the empire was already dying.

All are presented here commemorative coins denomination of 1 ruble, which were issued in the USSR. It is worth noting that they were minted in two mints. At first it was the Leningrad Mint, and then the Moscow Mint. All products are different high quality coinage and the same decoration. Now you know how much the anniversary 1 ruble of the USSR costs. It should be noted that the price is quite low. True, time can fix this. Nevertheless, Soviet coins occupy a very honorable place in the collections of numismatists.

“I found one ruble and a fierce dispute ensued,” writes kot_de_azur . - Do you know what you could buy with one ruble? No, I don't know. Is it true that you could buy a lot? Now you can’t even buy matches for a ruble, it has fallen so low. But in the USSR they saved the ruble.

“It’s immediately clear that people didn’t live under the Soviet Union,” writes andrew_777. “There weren’t any potatoes on the market for 10 kopecks. This is the price of rot in a vegetable store. Kvass also didn’t cost 3 kopecks a cup. Lottery tickets I also remember 50 kopecks, not 25. Beer on tap for 20 kopecks is not beer, but diluted urine with foam. A movie for 25 kopecks is a daytime show or a repeat movie theater. Another ruble could buy a dozen eggs or a kilogram of crappy sausage. But for good shoes it cost 100 times a ruble - two-thirds of an engineer’s salary.”

“That’s why the USSR collapsed - there was no money in the budget due to the fact that literally every sneeze had to be subsidized,” writes bysergeyby. “Sale prices were such that they did not cover the costs of producing goods and services. Economic collapse. And one more note Buy by low prices Only what was on sale was available. That is, matches, salt, tomato juice, bulls in tomatoes, and the like. But something more substantial... meat... few people remember about the “sausage trains” to the capital. Not to mention anything more complicated. Two-year queues for Vyatka washing machines or the VM-1 video recorder, for example.”

“It’s much more interesting to ask what could be bought for 100 rubles,” writes Eugene Katyukhin. - Paradoxically, the answer would be: in the store - practically nothing. There's a shortage, you know."
