Dunno about Russian gold purchases, but Kitco shows Gold at over $2500 (as it mostly has been recently) and Silver at over $28 (ditto).
Compare that to Gold set at $20.67/oz by law until Franklin "Internment camp" Roosevelt forced Americans to hand over their gold (we were generously allowed to keep $100 worth).
