The "prop up the ruble" effect was negative to russia. It happened because export to russia totally stalled. So, russia still exported oil and gas, but could not buy anything for earned currency. For example, in August German export to russia dropped 45.8%, while imports dropped only 6.7% - and that only due to gas price increase. Now they import 0 gas. >I assure you that other nations have taken note and will take similar steps in the future. Why would any country do that if they don't plan similar genocidal war?
