1 Soviet ruble. Peoples of the republics of the union, unite! a renewed USSR is our civilizational choice! Anniversary and commemorative issues

Most former Soviet citizens remember very well that during the USSR there were commemorative Soviet rubles in circulation, but few people remember that in addition to commemorative rubles, there were also so-called annual rubles in circulation.

The reform of 1961 introduced several innovations into monetary circulation, including the long-unused denomination of 1 ruble coins. The coin ruble had a longer circulation period (at least a hundred years) than.

Ruble coins were minted from a copper-nickel alloy from 1961 to 1991.

The weight of the coin is exactly 7.5 grams. The edge is represented by an inscription like “one ruble a year.” Only coins from 1961 have a smooth edge (this is not a rare variety, but the norm).

The obverse of the 1 ruble coin is slightly different from the design of the obverses of other denominations. In the center is the coat of arms of the USSR, but there is no abbreviation “USSR”, and instead, along the edge of the coin there is the inscription “Union of Soviet Socialist Republics” and a five-pointed star, the inscription is separated from the coat of arms by a small collar. The reverse of the coin is made in the usual style - in the center there is the denomination “1 ruble”, under the denomination of the year, along the edges there are ears of wheat. On rubles of 1991, depending on the mint, there are the letters L or M on the obverse. The majority of annual USSR rubles are of some interest to collectors, and, by the way, their value is not the smallest when compared with other USSR coins from the period 1961-1991. Below you can see a list of rubles and current market prices

on them (for the safety of VF-XF): 1961
- 200 rubles 1964
– 30 rubles 1965
– 120 rubles 1966
– 1500 rubles 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971
– 1200 rubles 1972, 1973
– 1700 rubles 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979
– 1100 rubles 1972, 1973
1980 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979
1981, 1982, 1983 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987
- 300 rubles 1988, 1989, 1990
– 150 rubles 1991 M - 100 rubles, L

- 200 rubles

As coin catalogs say, there are mix-up varieties, when the year on the reverse does not correspond to the year on the edge. Such coins can be found among the rubles of 1967, 1988 and 1990 (by reverse). I’ll say right away that mix-ups are very rare, and the price for them will pleasantly surprise you (after the auction).

Evaluate for yourself whether your level of income has increased compared to socialist times: in the USSR there were small salaries, but large incomes. These incomes included free housing, medicine, education, low prices for transport and housing and communal services, and subsidized recreation. Income of 1 ruble in Soviet times is not a small amount, but 100 rubles is almost a fortune

Let's try to analyze and compare what could be bought with one Soviet ruble and compare it in terms of purchasing power with the ruble of “free Russia”

for 1 Soviet ruble can buy

corresponds to modern prices (rubles) or "exchange rate relative to the Soviet ruble"

The average pension is 75-120 rubles. Today exchange rate = 94(considering the average pension of 7,100 rubles)
(for some professions 178 rubles)

The average salary is 196 rubles. Today exchange rate = 104(average salary is 20,383 rubles)
(1986, without additional payments and benefits, according to the State Statistics Service)

Everything below the indicated rates corresponds to the level of consumption during the Soviet Union. Anything above means that this service is unavailable.

It turns out that under a liberal regime you can drink vodka, smoke cigarettes, drink beer, eat sprat in tomato and colonial fruits. Purchasing milk is already beyond the income limits. “Zhiguli” cars have become almost 3 times more accessible, while communication is inaccessible, printed information and travel on transport are practically inaccessible, recreation, entertainment are absolutely inaccessible (instead of a movie ticket, people simply get drunk), and household services. Thus, all the “privileges of access to consumer paradise” - i.e. “availability of a number of goods” - are actually a beautiful fairy tale, since money is siphoned out of the population by paid medicine, education and fabulously expensive utilities. At the same time, people in the USSR received housing for free. Today, the cost of apartments tends to reach “exorbitant distances”...

By the way, the main weapon of capitalism is the personal bribery of each individual with a beautiful fairy tale about personal consumption. Therefore, if you proceed from the principle - " your shirt is closer to your body"and you are not concerned about the general situation in the country, the continuing growth of the decel coefficient (the income gap between the richest 10% and the poorest 10%), which inevitably leads to social unrest, then you can personally calculate for yourself whether your level of income has increased , compared to socialist times, according to the following formula:

(Current earnings / 20.383)*104 = N

Compare the resulting number “N” with the second column of the table or with the “exchange rate”. In Soviet times, you would not have been able to afford anything higher than this amount. It is interesting that for the cost of utility costs to correspond to the income of Soviet times, wages today should be equal to 245,000 rubles. Evaluate for yourself whether you will be able to receive that much in the near future and whether there are prospects for receiving such income.

Helpful information for owners of Soviet deposits (USSR savings books) and clients of the current Sberbank.

On the official website of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation there is a section “Official rates of the State Bank of the USSR of foreign currencies in relation to the ruble, used in payment and settlement relations of the Russian Federation with foreign countries under trade and credit agreements of the former USSR.”

So, from this information it follows that as of December 2010:

100 US dollars corresponds to 50.59 Soviet rubles, and if we take into account the current exchange rate of the Russian ruble ( 30.9831

Russian ruble per US dollar), it turns out that 1 Soviet ruble = 61.24 Russian ruble. It's officially recognized! It is clear that the rate may be higher, for example, you need to compare purchasing power taking into account the benefits that have now become paid.

Now - passbooks. Let’s say that 20 years ago there were 5,000 Soviet rubles on it (which was commonplace), which at the exchange rate = 306 thousand Russian rubles.

But that is not all. We also need to take into account interest (let’s say 5 modest percent per annum) - Gref (the current owner of Sberbank) does not lend money for free for 20 years. In total, it turns out that over 20 years, 5,000 Soviet rubles turn into 812,486 Russian rubles (almost a million).

Usually in the courts it is customary to also demand moral compensation (and everyone has moral anguish over lost money), which, as a rule, is equal to the amount of the claim. That is, that million doubles. In principle, it seems that in the USSR you can buy an apartment for 5,000 rubles and now for 2 million.

Thus, Gref owes each owner of the USSR savings book approximately two million rubles.

I don’t think that all the property of Sberbank of the Russian Federation will be enough to fully pay off its debts. There won’t be enough money in the bins, no marble offices, no green toilets, no Maybach-Bentleys with drivers, no villas with yachts... For some reason I imagine Greek kidneys with a spleen in a three-liter jar with saline solution as a deposit - until full repayment debt.

Addition

In fact, the rate of 61.24 is the very minimum, these “they” calculated. Now we'll do the math. It can be seen that for food (prices - Moscow, summer 2010) the exchange rate varies from approximately 80 to 200 - and this does not take into account the significant difference in the quality of food and the last autumn rise in price! Next - prices for housing and communal services and transport, rate 500 and above, apartments - 960! So, gentlemen bourgeois, something is wrong with you.

True, the rate for drugs (tobacco, alcohol, and now especially television) is significantly lower than the bourgeois rate, which is not surprising.

The current equivalent of 5,000 Soviet rubles was calculated similarly to that calculated earlier - taking into account the capitalization of interest for 20 years (5% per annum) and moral compensation = 2.0. Thus, duty "democrats" - privatizers(they are also bourgeois capitalists), includingGref, already amounts toleastfrom 2.5 to 25 million Russian rubles for every 5 thousand stolen Soviet rubles. But that's not all.

And these are just the stolen deposits.

The counter has been ticking for 20 years, and the interest is growing.

Of course, voluntarily, within the current system, the bourgeoisie will never give up their loot. That's right, that's not why they robbed. Even the most naive cannot hope for “their judgment” now.

Only, apparently, the bourgeoisie forgot about their historical experience. We’ll have to remind them about him, the hour of reckoning is approaching.

Regular and commemorative coins 1 ruble USSR is popular among numismatists of all generations. Beginners and experienced collectors collect simple “weather records”, fill entire albums with “anniversaries”, silver rubles of the first half of the 1920s and rare stamped varieties.

The first 1 ruble of the USSR for circulation was issued in 1924. This denomination remained the largest for Soviet everyday coins until last days existence of an Allied Power. Only during the “Pavlovsk” reform of 1991 did metal 5- and 10-ruble notes appear.

Regular coins 1 ruble USSR: price and varieties

20-gram silver rubles from 1924 were minted according to tsarist standards relevant during the reign of Nicholas II. The changes affected only the artistic design of the sides of the coin, which were made in accordance with the new state ideology. The front side contains the coat of arms, motto and denomination. On the back - a worker and a peasant against the backdrop of a factory.

Half a century later, in 1961, it was decided to continue the minting of ruble coins. Please note that due to the multi-million circulation, the next issue is only dated 1964. Starting this year, metal ruble banknotes began to be issued almost every year. Technical characteristics: weight - 7.5 grams, diameter - 27 mm, metal - copper-nickel alloy. The ruble of the 1961 model is considered the most common - however, there is also a rare “weather stamp” dated 1966 - 1983. The market value of such copies is an order of magnitude higher than an ordinary large-circulation edition.

The next (and last for the Union era) design change occurred 30 years later, in 1991. The so-called “” coins saw the light of day. Design changes also affected the obverse - the state emblem disappeared, which was replaced by the image of the Moscow Kremlin and the reverse - an oak branch appeared in the design of the details.

Anniversary and commemorative issues

The first Soviet “anniversary” dates back to 1965, when the ruble “XX Years of Victory over Germany” was issued. Both simple commemorative coins and coins made of precious alloys were issued. The most popular of them are:

• Rubles dedicated to the anniversaries of Victory in the Great Patriotic War.
• “Great People” series, consisting of 28 copper-nickel 1-ruble coins.
• “50 years of Soviet power” (1967).
• “100 years since the birth of V.I. Lenin" (1970).
• "Olympic" series 1977-1980.
