Anecdotal evidence on the dollar--but a good source, a friend of mine who is a Professor of Women's studies at a Russian university: "By the way it is funny that you wrote about $ because I was just thinking about currency and I noticed that $ costs almost the same as Euro. More than that I needed 25 Euro to pay my visa fee to Finland and figured out that I can find Euros in banks only early in the morning. So now Russians do their savings not in $ but in Euros - this is a dilemma for me as well: me and my husband are planning to buy a flat but the prices are increasing all the time. But we have a certain amount of $ so probably I should change them into Euros? I do not know - so scared to loose my savings as my parents did."
