Currency Proliferation: The Monetary Legacy of the Soviet Union

Princeton Essays in International Economics from International Economics Section, Departement of Economics Princeton University,

Abstract: The fifteen newly independent republics of the former Soviet Union began 1992 with a functionning ruble area inherited from the Soviet union. Indeed, early that year, the ruble was atop the currency hit parade; no other currency served as sole legal tender across so many national borders. This essay examines the centrifugal forces at work in the ruble area.
