American patriot living in Russia here. I have not heard this claim anywhere other than the links RealCleanUpPhilly has posted in these comments. I don't think it has happened.
However, Russia has put a big tax on dollar purchases, and REMOVED a 20% tax on physical gold purchases. They're clearly trying to redirect people away from using USD as a stable place to keep money, and toward using gold. And they have been aggressively decoupling from the dollar for years. So the OP claim I think is incorrect, but I think the truth is in this general direction.
The only source worth listening to on this topic is the Russian government. Until they announce they’re pegging the rouble to gold then it’s all speculation.
I agree, and complained when The Authority posted about this on his TG channel. Then a few minutes later he bust out the sauce...here's the Russian central bank in English translation:
Information about the Bank of Russia's purchase of gold on the domestic market March 25, 2022 Press release
Starting from March 28, 2022, the Bank of Russia will buy gold from credit institutions at a fixed price in order to ensure a balance of supply and demand in the domestic precious metals market. The price from March 28 to June 30, 2022 inclusive will be 5,000 rubles per 1 gram. The established price level allows us to ensure a stable supply of gold and smooth functioning of the gold mining industry in the current year. After the specified period, the purchase price of gold can be adjusted based on the current balance of supply and demand in the domestic market.
When using the material, a link to the Press Service of the Bank of Russia is required.
