Ekaterina Pravilova, author of "The Ruble: A Political History," joins Seth Thévoz in The Bunker to explore what the ruble tells us about Russia. They discuss its significance in maintaining the autocratic regime, the tension between the ruble as a symbol of the state and liberty, contrasting views on the gold standard, the impact of the Russian currency crisis on the revolutions and trust, and the lessons we can learn from Russia's currency, politics, and culture.
