I've yet to hear any credible news that Russia is returning to a gold standard. I've only heard that from anons here, seemingly based on misinterpretation of an article that announced Russians were now allowed to buy gold without a 20% tax. That's not exactly the same as Russia abolishing the Ruble. People are putting 3 and 2 together and getting 4.

Why would Russia abolish the Ruble?
