      1 dollar used to be exchangeable for 91 rubles

      now 1 dollar can only be exchanged for 85 rubles

      this means the dollar is inflating faster than the ruble

      and possibly that the ruble is deflating (though that part I am not sure of)

      Previously, Russians could use their 91 rubles to buy a dollar. Now they can buy a dollar AND have 6 rubles left over, because the dollar only costs 85. This means the ruble can buy more dollars, so it's becoming stronger.
