5 | The ruble-to-dollar exchange rate was 32.5 in January 2014. | 32.5 ny taham-panakalozana robla-dolara tamin'ny Janoary 2014. |
6 | Today, it is 58.5. | Androany, 58.5. |
7 | The fall of the ruble is perhaps the biggest news story in Russia now, as the country looks ahead to a looming financial recession and several more months at least of heavy Western economic sanctions, not to mention Moscow's retaliatory boycott against many Western imports. | Ny fitsingidinan'ny robla angamba no tantaram-baovao lehibe indrindra ao Rosia amin'izao fotoana izao, satria miatrika fihisàrana ara-bola mananontanona azy ny firenena izao ary farafaharatsiny sazy ara-toekarena mandritry ny volana maro avy amin'ny Tandrefana, raha tsy hilaza ny fanaovan'i Maosko ankivy ny fanafarana entana Tandrefana. |
8 | In a speech last week about the state of the nation, President Putin launched a campaign against currency speculators, raising concerns that Russia will introduce new capital controls, further alarming investors and upsetting the value of Russia's currency. | Tamin'ny herinandro lasa, tao anatinà kabary iray mikasika ny toerana misy ny firenena, nanomboka fampielezankevitra iray ny Filoha Putin hanoherany ireo mpanafim-bola, nampitombo ny ahiahy hoe hampiditra fanaraha-maso vaovao ireo renivola i Rosia, nahataitra bebe kokoa ireo mpampiasa vola ary nanohina ny lanjan'ny vola ao Rosia. |
9 | This week, Russia's chief federal investigator signaled that police might begin treating certain kinds of currency speculation as a criminal offense. | Tamin'ity herinandro ity, nomarihan'ny lehiben'ny sampana federaly mpanadihady ao Rosia fa mety horaisin'ny polisy ho toy ny heloka bevava ny karazany sasantsasany amin'ny fanafenam-bola. |
10 | Amid growing anxiety about Russia's currency and economy, RuNet Echo has collected several of the most popular and amusing examples of “ruble memes” on Russian Twitter. | Ao anatin'ny tebiteby misonga mikasika ny vola sy ny toekarena ao Rosia, nanangona ireo ohatra maro isan'ny malaza sy mahatsikaiky amin'ireo “sary mahatsikaikin'ny robla” tao amin'ny Twitter Rosiana ny RuNet Echo. |
11 | Russian designer and animator Yegor Zhgun created a cartoon comparing the ruble's fall to the death of Leonardo DiCaprio's character in the 1997 film “Titanic,” suggesting that Russia's currency owes its collapse to the declining value of oil. | Namorona sariitatra iray ilay Rosiana mpanome endrika sady mpanao sarimiaina, Yegor Zhgun, nampitahàny ny fitsingidinan'ny robla tamin'ny fahafatesan'ilay olona lalaovin'i Leonardo DiCaprio ao anatin'ilay sarimihetsika “Titanic” tamin'ny 1997, tamin'ny fiheverana fa avy amin'ny fikororosian'ny sandan'ny solika no anton'ny firodànan'ny robla. |

14 | Rustem Adagamov is a prominent Russian photographer now living in exile in Prague, after facing bizarre, still unsubstantiated statutory rape allegations almost two years ago. | Rustem Adagamov dia Rosiana malaza iray mpakasary, monina any an-tsesitany amin'izao fotoana izao any Prague, taorian'ny niatrehany endrikendrika hafahafa ho nanao fanolanana, izay mbola tsy nohamafisina foana hatreto, efa ho taona roa lasa izay. |
15 | Back in Russia, however, he remains an intensely popular blogger. | Raha miverina any Rosia anefa izy dia mijanona foana ho bilaogera tena manana ny lazany. |
16 | Bang bang. | Bang bang. |
17 | When the ruble-to-dollar exchange rate reached 50, the popular parody Twitter account KermlinRussia made this joke about the 100-ruble bill: | Rehefa nahatratra ny 50 ny taham-pifanakalozana robla-dolara, ilay kaonty Twitter fanalàna azy malaza KermlinRussia dia nanao ity vazivazy ity momba ny vola taratasy 100 robla: |
18 | They say the two-dollar bill is a rarity. | Lazain-dry zareo fa tsy fahita firy ny vola roa dôlara. |
19 | I don't know about that. | Tsy haiko ny amin'izay. |
20 | I see more every day… | Mahita betsaka foana aho isanandro. |
21 | When the teaser trailer for the seventh installment in “Star Wars” dropped in late November, Russian Internet users joined the international frenzy about the return of Jedi knights and Stormtroopers. | Rehefa nivoaka tamin'ny faran'ny Novambra ny lahatsary fampahafantarana ny andiany fahafito amin'ny “Star Wars”, dia roboka tamin'ny fibitabitahana iraisampirenena nateraky ny fiverenan'ireo “chevaliers” du Jedi sy ny Stormtroopers koa ireo Rosiana mpampiasa aterineto. |
22 | The new lightsaber depicted in the trailer, whose controversial design has launched countless “debates,” has also proven to be fodder for jokes about the ruble. | Porofo ihany koa ny maha-zavatra fanaovana saobabay ny robla ilay sabatra lazera aseho ao anatin'ilay lahatsary fampahafantarana, izay niteraka resabe tsy tambo ho isaina ny fanomezana endrika azy. |

24 | - Duran / Дюран (@userdie) December 12, 2014 The falling value of the ruble is fueling a panic throughout Russia about the general state of the national economy. | Ny fitontonganan'ny sandan'ny robla dia solika mandrehitra ny saritaka manerana an'i Rosia manontolo mikasika ny toe-draharaha misy ny toekarem-pirenena amin'ny ankapobeny. |
25 | Most Russians today live with the memory of two previous financial crises: the moderately bad recession of 2008-2009, under President Dmitri Medvedev, and a devastating collapse in 1998, under President Boris Yeltsin. | Ny ankamaroan'ny Rosina velona ankehitriny dia miaina miaraka amin'ny fahatsiarovany ireo olana ara-bola teo aloha: ny fihisàrana ratsin'ny 2008-2009, teo ambany fitondràn'ny Filoha Dmitri Medvedev, ary ny firodanana iray tamin'ny 1998 fony fitondràn'i Boris Yeltsin. |
26 | For some people, it's become difficult to take their eyes off the market. | Ho an'ny olona sasany, lasa sarotra ho azy ireo ny tsy hanara-maso ny tsena. |
27 | Russian polling agency VTsIOM reports a sharp increase in the number of divorces… #Oil #TheRuble | Mitatitra fitomboan'isan'ny fisaraham-panambadiana ny VTsIOM, masoivoho Rosiana mpanao fitsapan-kevitra … #Oil #TheRuble |
28 | Others joke that the country just needs to find a way to wait out the troubles ahead. | Ny hafa indray mivazivazy hoe mila fotsiny mahita làlana hiandrasana ny fiafaràn'izao raharaha manahirana izao ny firenena. |
29 | Knock knock! | Tok Tok! |

34 | - RuNet Memes (@RuNetMemes) November 18, 2014 Others on the RuNet seem to think no amount of hibernation can spare the ruble. | Mihevitra ny sasany ao amin'ny RuNet fa tsy afaka hanavotra ny robla na dia fihofoana impiry aza. |
35 | From middle age to old age to death. | Miala avy any amin'ny hatanorana mandalo amin'ny fahanterana ka hatrany amin'ny fahafatesana. |

37 | - RuNet Memes (@RuNetMemes) November 8, 2014 Earlier this month, activists in St. Petersburg donned masks, dressing as high-ranking Russian officials, and carried to the Neva River a large effigy of the ruble on a funeral raft, which they released into the water, where it “free-floated.” | Tany am-piandohan'ity volana ity, nanao sarontava ireo mpikatroka mafàna fo tao St. Petersburg, nitafy toy ireo Rosiana manana toerana ambony, ary nitondra saribe iray famantarana ny robla hatrany amin'ny renirano Neva natao teo ambony zahatra fandevenana, izay navalany rano ary nitsinkafona “natopan'onja”. |
38 | (Police arrested three participants in this act.) | ( Nosamborin'ny polisy ny telo nandray anjara tamin'io hetsika io.) |
39 | The ruble is now free-floating in St. Petersburg. | Atopatopan'onja ao St. Petersburg ankehitriny ny robla. |
40 | When it comes to humor about the currency collapse, Internet users have also widely shared work by prominent political cartoonists, particularly Sergei Yelkin. | Raha vao resaka vazivazy momba ny firodanan'ny vola no atao, dia nizara betsaka ny asa kanton'ireo mpanao sariitatra ara-politika ihany koa ireo mpampiasa aterineto, indrindra fa ny an'i Sergei Yelkin. |
41 | Closer. | Akaiky kokoa. |
42 | Come closer… | Avia manakaikeza kokoa… |
43 | Back in Septemer, when the ruble-to-dollar exchange rate was still under 40, Yelkin produced this comic: | Tamin'ny Septambra lasa teo, fony mbola teo ambanin'ny 40 ny taham-pifanakalozana robla-dôlara, nanao ity sary mahatsikaiky ity i Yelkin : |
44 | Let's try for forty! | Ndao andramantsika ny efapolo ! |
45 | When it comes to commentary about the ruble, work by many other cartoonists has also appeared on Russian Twitter. | Rehefa fanehoankevitra momba ny robla no resaka, nipoitra tao amin'ny Twitter Rosiana ihany koa ny asan'ireo maro hafa mpanao sariitatra. |
46 | In the comic below, the artist adapts a scene from the film “300,” where the narrator explains ancient Sparta's policy of casting weak infants off a cliff, to purify the city's genetic pool. | Ao anatin'ny sary mahatsikaiky eto ambany, seho iray hita tao anatin'ny sarimihetsika “300” no narafitr'ireo mpanao taokanto, seho izay anazavan'ilay mpitantara ny politikan'ny Sparta tranainy ny fanipazana avy eny ambony harambato ireo zaza menavava tsy tomombana ara-batana, mba ho fanadiovana ny tarazon'ny tanàna. |
47 | Traditionally, the weak and useless currencies were thrown into the abyss… | Araka ny fombandrazana, dia ariana any anaty hantsana mangitsoka izay vola marefo sy tsy misy ilàna azy intsony… |
48 | Much of the Internet's conversation about Russia's currency woes is speculation about when the crisis will “bottom out.” | Ny betsaka tamin'ireo fifanakalozan-dresaka tety anaty aterineto momba ny fijalian'ny volan'i Rosia dia honohono mikasika ny fotoana hitontonan'ilay olana any amin'ny vodiny farany ambany indrindra. |
49 | The old bottom: remembering the ruble's exchange rates. | Ny vodiny taloha: fahatsiarovana ny taham-pifanakalozana robla. |
50 | #money #economy #business #TheRuble [Caption reads, “There it is! | #money #economy #business #TheRuble [Soratra fanazavana, “Ity eto izy! |
51 | The bottom!!”] | Ny vodiny!!”] |
52 | No matter how desperate Russia's currency situation becomes, however, we can be certain that Internet users will forever look for solace in the personality cult of Vladimir Putin, whose reputation for “lifting Russia from its knees,” while riding horses and baring his chest, must now be a great balm for the nation's troubled spirits. | Kanefa na mafy toy inona aza ny teorana nisy ny volan'ny Rosia, afaka maka toky izahay fa hitady fiononana hatrany ao amin'ny fanompoana/fanindrahndràna olona atao an'i Vladimir Putin ireo mpampiasa aterineto, izay ny mampalaza azy dia ny “manainga an'i Rosia tsy handohalika,” sady mitaingina soavaly no mampiseho tratra, no tsy maintsy hanosotra menaka balsama hanasitranana ny fanahy feno tebitebin'ny firenena. |
