“Successes” of Lukashenka's economic course in figures.

In June 1994, when Aliaksandr Lukashenka became president, the dollar cost about 30,000 rubles.

The US dollar now costs 17,500 Belarusian rubles.

Taking into account two redenominations, in 1994, when one zero was cut off, and in 2000, when 1,000 zeros were removed, the Belarusian ruble has been devalued by 590,000%.
