The 2022 Russian Ruble Crash meme emerged following the significant devaluation of the Russian currency after the invasion of Ukraine and subsequent international sanctions. As the ruble's value plummeted below one U.S. cent, internet users began comparing it to insignificant items and virtual currencies, most notably Roblox's 'Robux'. These memes typically feature stock market charts showing a steep decline or humorous comparisons to suggest the currency is worth less than a piece of toilet paper. It serves as a form of socio-political commentary, using dark humor to highlight the rapid economic consequences of geopolitical conflict and the volatility of global markets.
