Was your 53 million rubles a typo? Would be like 530,000 dollars. Not a huge reserve, lol I have more than that
As to not having CB as the reason Soviet Union fell, in my opinion, is very simplistic. Lots of thing wer going on that caused the collapse
Just my 2 cents
Good catch. It’s 53 million million or trillion rubles.
The Fed’s balance sheet is currently about $8T.
