Inflation according to Wikipedia, is a process of reducing the value of the money as a result of which you can buy fewer goods for the same amount of money.
Starting from January 2009 until mid-February, inflation in Russia was 3.2% already; it is quite a large index, but it's nothing compared to what it was in modern Russia's history.
Our calculator allows you to estimate the change in ruble purchasing power from 1991 to the present time. During this period, the country experienced hyperinflation, carried out two cash reforms (confiscatory reforms of 1991 and 1993.) and one denomination in 1998. Just set starting and ending period, and you will know how much less than before you could buy with the specified amount of rubles.
