Buying power of ₽100 in 2020

This chart shows a calculation of buying power equivalence for ₽100 in 2020 (price index tracking began in 1992).

For example, if you started with ₽100, you would need to end with ₽238.22 in order to "adjust" for inflation (sometimes refered to as "beating inflation").

When ₽100 is equivalent to ₽238.22 over time, that means that the "real value" of a single Russian ruble decreases over time. In other words, a ruble will pay for fewer items at the store.
