Etymology

The term 'rouble' originates from the Russian word 'ั€ัƒะฑะปัŒ' (rublโ€™), which is derived from the word 'ั€ัƒะฑะธั‚ัŒ' (rubitโ€™), meaning 'to chop' or 'to cut off'. Historically, it referred to a piece of silver that was cut off or measured. The rouble has a long history dating back to the 13th century when it was used as a unit of account and currency in various forms. Throughout the centuries, the rouble has evolved, reflecting the political and economic changes in Russia and its territories. It was officially adopted as the currency of the Russian Republic in 1547, and since then it has undergone several reforms and redenominations, especially following significant historical events like the Russian Revolution and the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Today, the rouble is a symbol of Russia's economic identity and has seen fluctuations influenced by global markets and domestic policies.
