The backstopping of the Ruble with gold can come in many forms and doesn’t have to be a direct peg from the Ruble to gold - it can include accepting payment for oil in gold.
If the USD “value” is considered in terms of purchasing power of commodities it has collapsed in recent time whereas the Ruble has soared in “value”.
The tell is in, but not yet fully manifest.
Has Russia also then gained solvency?
As the USD fiat currency world backed only by debt and political power begins to fail - the empire falls. History repeats.
The forces that cause this transition has been building for many years now, there may be a sudden event coming. Best to be positioned in advance, there may be little to no time to act when the audience realizes the theatre is burning and all rush for the exits.
“ If they want to buy, let them pay either in hard currency, and this is gold for us, or pay as it is convenient for us, this is the national currency. As for friendly countries, China or Turkey, which are not involved in the sanctions pressure. We have been proposing to China for a long time to switch to settlements in national currencies for rubles and yuan. With Turkey, it will be lira and rubles. The set of currencies can be different and this is normal practice. You can also trade bitcoins,” Zavalny commented at a press conference at the Rossiya Segodnya MIA multimedia center.
As predicted and recommended by this guy. The goldenruble to beat the petrodollar.
Preparing for the end of the Petrodollar: a case for Russia settling energy prices in RUB
In this paper we discuss why and how Russia needs to shield herself from the negative consequences of the US dollar’s worldwide financial domination. The apparent political will of the Russian regime to transform the ruble into a reserve currency has to cope with the objective reality of a ruble perceived as a nonreliable store of value. The proposition of starting to settle energy exports in rubles is explored. The paper is organized around a series of chapters dealing with political, economic and financial matters pertinent to the actual Russian predicament, including an analysis of the ruble’s weaknesses and strengths. In the conclusion the author argues that the ruble in its present form is way too weak to become a hard currency and therefore a reserve currency. The case for linking the ruble to gold is proposed in parallel with a cautious increment of the ruble’s use in Russia’s energy contracts, bearing in mind that the Russian economic reality is partially that of a petrostate.
Gold isn't a sound money, but Bitcoin is. The hardest money always wins and Bitcoin is the hardest money that mankind has ever known in the history of civilization. What you're witnessing is the beginning of Bitcoin as the new global reserve asset. It's silly that you keep talking about gold when nobody cares about it anymore and its an archaic relic that serves no useful purpose in the modern world.

I believe a global trend is in motion - a trend toward greater resiliency. For sovereign nations and their reserves. For countries and their supply chains. This will produce a reshuffling and the best way individuals can hedge themselves is to build resilient lives.
Yep, I bet the European countries are stockpiling rubles so they can continue to buy Russian oil and gas. Not. Only desperate energy buyers will pay gold for oil. They will do everything they can to find a supplier that takes USD. I think gold priced oil would need to be sold at a tremendous discount to USD priced oil, which would not be a positive for gold. I am long-term positive about gold, but I don't think Russia trying to save the ruble with some gold pricing scheme will be the catalyst.
Look outside the box(of hypnotic-trance media narratives)... you will see how the game is being played, by the really real playas!
Given that the EU is truly desperate to get off of the Bear's petro-leash, they will turn to the middle east for the necessary supply; not only is that the ORIGINAL heartland of the GOLD FOR OIL scheme, it's also the home of 'metals as real currency' traditional finance - an age old formula due to return with a vengeance, now that the Sheiks are turning off China "ho" Joe's telephone pleas and waiting for the inevitable moment when customers come calling with GOLD in hand!
It's China you need look to - to understand how the game now unfolds; they've cementing alliances with Muslim/petro states for a decade now, holding conferences to go over gold-demoninated trading networks with those Arab states, it's all ready to roll out at the word "let's GO brandon"... and Russia is peripheral to that exercise. Trading in gold(not just for oil, by any means!)with encompass the Stans, southern Asia(India/Pak/Iran/Indonesia and the Singapore/Malay regional group,

gives credence to the notion of a 'bifurcation' of the world economy, but can't see that the shift of power and wealth about to happen eastbound will mean the steady split between precious metal values in the two zones which will operate.

Gold n Silver will SHINE in the part of the world where they have always had intrinsic appeal as store of value. Back in the dying west.... not so much. Could/shoulda/woulda listened up lads?
I like owning some gold, but the gold bugs come up with all kinds of schemes that will drive the price to the stratosphere. The problem becomes delivery for payment, especially when discussing the shear monetary value of the energy trade.
Good point, flyguy; the 'miniaturisation' of economies will take care of most of the payment issues; the collapse of complex systems and long range trade will result in pockets of surviving communities, who will be able to figure out the return to the traditional dirham/denari/small coin trade where barter isn't enough.
All energy will also have to be locally generated in these semi MadMax scenarios, after the madmen in charge of the kovid kaper & reset have collapsed things back into feudal conditions. Weight of metallic coinage was originally based on how many grains of barley = standardised weight. We'll be back to that yet...
and wheat/barley/etc., may indeed be truly 'worth their weight in gold.' Hunger and famine also tend to reduce the complexity of systems! Everything 'old' is 'new' again?
While I don't expect the return to ancient Roman times, if it happens my closet full of 9mm and 5.56 will have multiple function including as currency for barter.
Are they not desperate? I mean, Russian oil and natural gas are not easily replaceable. Therefore, if Russian demands it, what can they do but acquiesce.

We've almost come full circle. Nixon will be chuckling in his grave at all the damage he enabled.
