OVERVIEW

The CurrencySharesSMRussian Ruble Trust (the Trust) is a grantor trust that was formed on August 7, 2008. The Shares
began trading on NYSE Arca under the ticker symbol XRU on November 13, 2008. The Trust issues shares (the Shares) in blocks of 50,000 (a Basket) in exchange for deposits of Russian Ruble and distributes
Russian Ruble in connection with the redemption of Baskets.

The investment objective of the Trust is for the Shares to reflect the price in
USD of the Russian Ruble plus accrued interest, if any, less the expenses of the Trusts operations. The Shares are intended to provide institutional and retail investors with a simple, cost-effective means of gaining investment benefits
similar to those of holding the Russian Ruble. The Shares are bought and sold on NYSE Arca like any other exchange-listed security. The Shares are backed by the assets of the Trust, which does not hold or use derivative products. Investing in the
Shares does not insulate the investor from certain risks, including price volatility. The value of the holdings of the Trust is reported on the Trusts website, www.currencyshares.com, each business day.

THE TRUST

General

The Trust holds Russian Rubles and, from time to time, issues Baskets in exchange for deposits of Russian Rubles and distributes Russian
Rubles in connection with redemptions of Baskets. The Russian Rubles held by the Trust will be sold only (1) if needed to pay Trust expenses, (2) in the event the Trust terminates and liquidates its assets or (3) as otherwise required
by law or regulation.

The Sponsor

The Sponsor of the Trust generally oversees the performance of the Trustee and the Trusts principal service providers, but does not exercise day-to-day oversight over the Trustee or the Trusts
service providers. The Sponsor is Rydex Specialized Products LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.

The Trusts only ordinary
recurring expense is the Sponsors fee. The Sponsor is responsible for payment of the following administrative and marketing expenses of the Trust: the Trustees monthly fee, typical maintenance and transaction fees of the Depository, NYSE
Arca listing fees, printing and mailing costs, audit fees and expenses, up to $100,000 per annum in legal fees and expenses, and applicable license fees. The Sponsor also paid the costs of the Trusts organization and the costs of the initial
sale of the Shares, including the applicable SEC registration fees. The Sponsors fee accrues daily at an annual nominal rate of 0.40% of the Russian Ruble in the Trust (including all unpaid interest but excluding unpaid fees, each as accrued
through the immediately preceding day). The Sponsor was paid $12,138 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009.

The
Trustee

The Bank of New York Mellon, a banking corporation with trust powers organized under the laws of the State of New York, serves as
the Trustee. The Trustee is responsible for the day-to-day administration of the Trust, including keeping the Trusts operational records.

Net Asset Value

The Trustee calculates, and the Sponsor publishes, the Trusts Net
Asset Value (NAV) each business day. To calculate the NAV, the Trustee adds to the amount of Russian Ruble in the Trust at the end of the preceding day accrued but unpaid interest, if any, Russian Rubles receivable under pending purchase
orders and the value of other Trust assets, and subtracts the accrued but unpaid Sponsors fee, Russian Rubles payable under pending redemption orders and other Trust expenses and liabilities, if any. The NAV is expressed in U.S. Dollars
(USD) based on the Closing Spot Rate, which is the USD/ Russian Ruble exchange rate as determined by WM/Reuters as of 4:00 PM (London time) on each day that NYSE Arca is open for regular trading. If, on a particular
evaluation day, the Closing Spot Rate has not been determined and announced by 6:00 PM (London time), then the most recent Closing Spot Rate is used to determine the NAV of the Trust unless the Trustee, in consultation with the Sponsor, determines
that such price is inappropriate to use as the basis for such valuation.

##### Table of Contents

The Trustee also determines the NAV per Share, which equals the NAV of the Trust divided by the number of
outstanding Shares. The NAV of the Trust and NAV per Share is published by the Sponsor on each day that NYSE Arca is open for regular trading and is posted on the Trusts website, www.currencyshares.com.

Depository and Deposit Accounts

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., London Branch is the Depository. The Depository maintains two deposit accounts for the Trust, a primary deposit account which is expected to earn interest and a secondary deposit account which does not earn
interest (collectively, the Deposit Accounts). Interest on the primary deposit account, if any, accrues daily and is paid monthly. If the Sponsor believes that the interest rate paid by the Depository is not competitive, the
Sponsors recourse is to remove the Depository by terminating the Deposit Account Agreement and closing the accounts. The Depository is not paid a fee for its services to the Trust. The Depository may earn a spread or
margin over the rate of interest it pays to the Trust on the Russian Ruble deposit balances.

The secondary deposit account is
used to account for interest received, if any, and paid out on creations and redemptions of Baskets. The secondary deposit account is also used to account for interest earned, if any, on the primary deposit account, pay Trust expenses and distribute
any excess interest to Shareholders on a monthly basis. In the event that the interest deposited, if any, exceeds the sum of the Sponsors fee for the prior month plus other Trust expenses, if any, then the Trustee will direct that the excess
be converted into USD at a prevailing market rate and the Trustee will distribute the USD as promptly as practicable to Shareholders on a pro rata basis (in accordance with the number of Shares that they own).

Trust Expenses

In certain
exceptional cases the Trust may pay expenses in addition to the Sponsors fee. These exceptions include expenses not assumed by the Sponsor, taxes and governmental charges, expenses and costs of any extraordinary services performed by the
Trustee or the Sponsor on behalf of the Trust or action taken by the Trustee or the Sponsor to protect the Trust or the interests of Shareholders, indemnification of the Sponsor under the Depositary Trust Agreement, and legal expenses in excess of
$100,000 per year.

Termination

The Trust will terminate upon the occurrence of any of the termination events listed in the Depositary Trust Agreement and will otherwise terminate on August 7, 2048.

THE SHARES

General

Each Share represents a proportional interest, based on the total number of Shares outstanding, in the Russian Rubles owned by the Trust, plus
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, less accrued but unpaid expenses (both asset-based and non-asset based) of the Trust. All Shares are of the same class with equal rights and privileges. Each Share is transferable, fully paid and non-assessable.

Limited Rights

The Shares are not a traditional investment. They are dissimilar from the shares of a corporation operating a business enterprise, with management and a board of directors. Trust Shareholders do not have rights normally
associated with owning shares of a business corporation, including, for example, the right to bring oppression or derivative actions. Shareholders have only those rights explicitly set forth in the Depositary Trust
Agreement. The Shares do not entitle their holders to any conversion or pre-emptive rights or, except as described herein, any redemption or distribution rights.

Voting and Approvals

Shareholders have no voting rights under the Depositary Trust
Agreement, except in limited circumstances. If the holders of at least 25% of the Shares outstanding determine that the Trustee is in material breach of its obligations under the Depositary Trust Agreement, they may provide written notice to the
Trustee (or require the Sponsor to do so) specifying the default and requiring the Trustee to cure such default. If the Trustee fails to cure such breach within 30 days after receipt of the notice, the Sponsor may remove the Trustee. The holders of
at least 66 2/3% of the Shares outstanding may vote to remove the Trustee. The Trustee must terminate the Trust at the request of the holders of at least 75% of the outstanding Shares.

Creation and Redemption of Shares

The creation and redemption of Baskets requires the delivery to the Trust or the distribution by the Trust of the amount of Russian Rubles represented by the
Baskets being created or redeemed. This amount is based on the combined NAV per Share of the number of Shares included in the Baskets being created or redeemed, determined on the day the order to create or redeem Baskets is accepted by the Trustee.

Only Authorized Participants may place orders to create and redeem Baskets. An Authorized Participant is a Depository Trust Company
participant that is a registered broker-dealer or other securities market participant, such as a bank or other financial institution that is not required to register as a broker-dealer to engage in securities transactions and has entered into a
Participant Agreement with the Trustee.

Before initiating a creation or redemption order, an Authorized Participant must have entered into a
Participant Agreement with the Sponsor and the Trustee. The Participant Agreement provides the procedures for the creation and redemption of Baskets and for the delivery of Russian Rubles required for creations and redemptions. The Participant
Agreements may be amended by the Trustee and the Sponsor. Authorized Participants pay a transaction fee of $500 to the Trustee for each order that they place to create or redeem one or more Baskets. Authorized Participants who make deposits with the
Trust in exchange for Baskets receive no fees, commissions or other form of compensation or inducement of any kind from either the Sponsor or the Trust. No Authorized Participant has any obligation or responsibility to the Sponsor or the Trust to
effect any sale or resale of Shares.

AVAILABILITY OF SEC REPORTS AND OTHER INFORMATION

The Sponsor, on behalf of the Trust, files quarterly and annual reports and other information with the SEC. The reports and other information can be accessed
through the Trusts website at www.currencyshares.com.



|Item 1A. | RISK FACTORS
|-------- | ------------

You should consider
carefully the risks described below before making an investment decision. You should also refer to the other information included in this report, including the Trusts financial statements and the related notes.

The value of the Shares relates directly to the value of the Russian Rubles held by the Trust. Fluctuations in the price of the Russian Ruble could
materially and adversely affect the value of the Shares.

The Shares are designed to reflect the price of the Russian Ruble, plus
accumulated interest, if any, less the Trusts expenses. Several factors may affect the price of the Russian Ruble, including:



| |  | Debt level and trade deficit of Russia;
|- |  | ---------------------------------------



| |  | Inflation rates of the United States and Russian and investors expectations concerning inflation rates;
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Interest rates of the United States and Russian and investors expectations concerning interest rates;
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Investment and trading activities of mutual funds, hedge funds and currency funds; and
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Global or regional political, economic or financial events and situations.
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, the Russian Ruble may not maintain its long-term value in terms of purchasing power in the future. When the price of the Russian Ruble
declines, the Sponsor expects the price of a Share to decline as well.

The Russian Ruble/USD exchange rate, like foreign exchange rates in
general, can be volatile and difficult to predict. This volatility could materially and adversely affect the performance of the Shares.

Foreign exchange rates are influenced by the factors identified immediately above and may also be influenced by: changing supply and demand for a particular currency; monetary policies of governments (including exchange control programs,
restrictions on local exchanges or markets and limitations on foreign investment in a country or on investment by residents of a country in other countries); changes in balances of payments and trade; trade restrictions; and currency devaluations
and revaluations. Also, governments from time to time intervene in the currency markets, directly and by regulation, in order to influence prices directly. These events and actions are unpredictable and could materially and adversely affect the
performance of the Shares.

##### Table of Contents

If the Trustee is required to withdraw Russian Rubles from the Trust to pay expenses, this will reduce
the amount of Russian Rubles represented by each Share on an ongoing basis and may result in adverse tax consequences for Shareholders.

Each outstanding Share represents a fractional, undivided interest in the Russian Rubles held by the Trust. Although the Trust is expected to generate interest, it is possible that the amount of interest earned may not exceed expenses, in
which case the Trustee will withdraw Russian Rubles from the Trust to pay these excess expenses. As a result, the amount of Russian Rubles represented by each Share may gradually decline over time. This is true even if additional Shares are issued
in exchange for additional deposits of Russian Rubles into the Trust, as the amount of Russian Rubles required to create Shares will proportionately reflect the amount of Russian Rubles represented by the Shares outstanding at the time of creation.
Assuming a constant Russian Ruble price, if expenses exceed interest earned, the trading price of the Shares will gradually decline relative to the price of the Russian Ruble as the amount of Russian Rubles represented by the Shares gradually
declines. In this event, the Shares will only maintain their original price if the price of the Russian Ruble increases.

Investors should be
aware that a gradual decline in the amount of Russian Rubles represented by the Shares may occur regardless of whether the trading price of the Shares rises or falls in response to changes in the price of the Russian Ruble. The estimated ordinary
operating expenses of the Trust, which accrue daily, are described in Business  The Trust  Trust Expenses.

The
payment of expenses by the Trust will result in a taxable event to Shareholders. To the extent Trust expenses exceed interest paid to the Trust, a gain or loss may be recognized by Shareholders depending on the tax basis of the tendered Russian
Ruble.

The interest rate earned by the Trust may not be the best rate available. If the Sponsor determines that the interest rate is
inadequate, then its sole recourse is to remove the Depository and terminate the Deposit Accounts.

The Depository is committed to
endeavor to pay a competitive interest rate on the balance of Russian Rubles in the primary deposit account of the Trust. Interest on the primary deposit account, if any, accrues daily and is paid monthly. The Depository may change the rate at which
interest accrues based upon changes in market conditions or the Depositorys liquidity needs. The Depository notifies the Sponsor of the interest rate applied each business day after the close of such business day. The Sponsor discloses the
current interest rate on the Trusts website. If the Sponsor believes that the interest rate paid by the Depository is not adequate, the Sponsors sole recourse will be to remove the Depository and terminate the Deposit Accounts. The
Depository is not paid a fee for its services to the Trust; rather, it generates income or loss based on its ability to earn a spread or margin over the interest it pays to the Trust by using the Trusts Russian Rubles
to make loans or in other banking operations. For these reasons, you should not expect that the Trust will be paid the best available interest rate at any time or over time.

If the Trust incurs expenses in USD, the Trust is required to sell Russian Rubles to pay these expenses. The sale of the Trusts Russian Rubles to pay expenses in USD at a time of low Russian
Ruble prices could adversely affect the value of the Shares.

The Trustee will sell Russian Rubles held by the Trust to pay any Trust
expenses incurred in USD, irrespective of then-current Russian Ruble prices. The Trust is not actively managed and no attempt will be made to buy or sell Russian Rubles to protect against or to take advantage of fluctuations in the price of the
Russian Ruble. Consequently, if the Trust incurs expenses in USD the Trusts Russian Rubles may be sold at a time when the Russian Ruble price is low, resulting in a negative effect on the value of the Shares.

The Deposit Accounts are not entitled to payment at any office of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. located in the United States.

The federal laws of the United States prohibit banks located in the United States from paying interest on unrestricted demand deposit accounts. Therefore,
payments out of the Deposit Accounts will be payable only at the London branch of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., located in England. The Trustee will not be entitled to demand payment of these accounts at any office of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. that is
located in the United States. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. will not be required to repay the deposit if its London branch cannot repay the deposit due to an act of war, insurrection or civil strife or an action by a foreign government or
instrumentality (whether de jure or de facto) in England.

##### Table of Contents

Shareholders do not have the protections associated with ownership of a demand deposit account insured in
the United States by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation nor the full protection provided for bank deposits under English law.

Neither the Shares nor the Deposit Accounts and the Russian Rubles deposited in them are a deposit insured against loss by the FDIC or any other federal agency. Deposits may have only limited protection under the Financial Services
Compensation Scheme of England.

If the Depository becomes insolvent, its assets may not be adequate to satisfy a claim by the Trust or any
Authorized Participant. In addition, in the event of the insolvency of the Depository or the U.S. bank of which it is a branch, there may be a delay and costs incurred in recovering the Russian Rubles held in the Deposit Accounts.

Russian Rubles deposited in the Deposit Accounts by an Authorized Participant are commingled with Russian Rubles deposited by other Authorized Participants.
The Trust has no proprietary rights in or to any specific Russian Rubles held by the Depository and will be an unsecured creditor of the Depository with respect to the Russian Rubles held in the Deposit Accounts in the event of the insolvency of the
Depository or the U.S. bank of which it is a branch. In the event the Depository or the U.S. bank of which it is a branch becomes insolvent, the Depositorys assets might not be adequate to satisfy a claim by the Trust or any Authorized
Participant for the amount of Russian Rubles deposited by the Trust or the Authorized Participant. In such event, the Trust and any Authorized Participant will generally have no right in or to assets other than those of the Depository.

In the case of insolvency of the Depository or JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., the U.S. bank of which the Depository is a branch, a liquidator may seek to
freeze access to the Russian Rubles held in all accounts by the Depository, including the Deposit Accounts. The Trust and the Authorized Participants could incur expenses and delays in connection with asserting their claims. These problems would be
exacerbated by the fact that the Deposit Accounts are not held in the U.S. but instead are held at the London branch of a U.S. national bank, where they are subject to English insolvency law. Further, under U.S. law, in the case of the insolvency of
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., the claims of creditors in respect of accounts (such as the Trusts Deposit Accounts) that are maintained with an overseas branch of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. will be subordinate to claims of creditors in respect of
accounts maintained with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. in the U.S., greatly increasing the risk that the Trust and the Trusts beneficiaries would suffer a loss.

Shareholders do not have the protections associated with ownership of shares in an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act.

The Investment Company Act is designed to protect investors by preventing: insiders from managing investment companies to their benefit and to the detriment
of public investors; the issuance of securities having inequitable or discriminatory provisions; the management of investment companies by irresponsible persons; the use of unsound or misleading methods of computing earnings and asset value; changes
in the character of investment companies without the consent of investors; and investment companies from engaging in excessive leveraging. To accomplish these ends, the Investment Company Act requires the safekeeping and proper valuation of fund
assets, restricts greatly transactions with affiliates, limits leveraging, and imposes governance requirements as a check on fund management.

The Trust is not registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act and is not required to register under that act. Consequently, Shareholders do not have the regulatory protections afforded to investors in registered
investment companies.

Shareholders do not have the rights enjoyed by investors in certain other financial instruments.

As interests in a grantor trust, the Shares have none of the statutory rights normally associated with the ownership of shares of a business corporation,
including, for example, the right to bring oppression or derivative actions. Apart from the rights afforded to them by federal and state securities laws, Shareholders have only those rights relative to the Trust, the Trust
property and the Shares that are set forth in the Depositary Trust Agreement. In this connection, the Shareholders have limited voting and distribution rights. They do not have the right to elect directors. See Business  The Shares
 Limited Rights for a description of the limited rights of the Shareholders.

##### Table of Contents

The Shares may trade at a price which is at, above, or below the NAV per Share.

The NAV per Share fluctuates with changes in the market value of the Trusts assets. The market price of Shares can be expected to fluctuate in
accordance with changes in the NAV per Share, but also in response to market supply and demand. As a result, the Shares might trade at prices at, above or below the NAV per Share.

The Depository owes no fiduciary duties to the Trust or the Shareholders, is not required to act in their best interest and could resign or be removed by the Sponsor, which would trigger early
termination of the Trust.

The Depository is not a trustee for the Trust or the Shareholders. As stated above, the Depository is not
obligated to maximize the interest rate paid to the Trust. In addition, the Depository has no duty to continue to act as the depository of the Trust. The Depository could terminate its role as depository for any reason whatsoever upon 90 days
notice to the Trust. Such a termination might result, for example, if the Sponsor determines that the interest rate paid by the Depository is inadequate. In the event that the Depository was to resign or be removed, the Trust will be terminated.

Shareholders may incur significant fees upon the termination of the Trust.

The occurrence of any one of several events would either require the Trust to terminate or permit the Sponsor to terminate the Trust. For example, if the
Depository were to resign or be removed, then the Sponsor would be required to terminate the Trust. Shareholders tendering their Shares within 90 days of the Trusts termination will receive the amount of Russian Rubles represented by their
Shares. Shareholders may incur significant fees if they choose to convert the Russian Rubles they receive to USD.

Redemption orders are
subject to rejection by the Trustee under certain circumstances.

The Trustee will reject a redemption order if the order is not in proper
form as described in the Participant Agreement or if the fulfillment of the order, in the opinion of its counsel, might be unlawful. Any such rejection could adversely affect a redeeming Shareholder. For example, the resulting delay would adversely
affect the value of the Shareholders redemption distribution if the NAV were to decline during the delay. In accordance with the Depositary Trust Agreement, the Sponsor and the Trustee disclaim any liability for any loss or damage that may
result from any such rejection.

Substantial sales of Russian Rubles by the official sector could adversely affect an investment in the
Shares.

The official sector consists of central banks, other governmental agencies and multi-lateral institutions that buy, sell and hold
Russian Rubles as part of their reserve assets. The official sector holds a significant amount of Russian Rubles that can be mobilized in the open market. In the event that future economic, political or social conditions or pressures require members
of the official sector to sell their Russian Rubles simultaneously or in an uncoordinated manner, the demand for Russian Rubles might not be sufficient to accommodate the sudden increase in the supply of Russian Rubles to the market. Consequently,
the price of the Russian Ruble could decline, which would adversely affect an investment in the Shares.

Shareholders that are not
Authorized Participants may only purchase or sell their Shares in secondary trading markets.

Only Authorized Participants may create or
redeem Baskets through the Trust. All other investors that desire to purchase or sell Shares must do so through NYSE Arca or in other markets, if any, in which the Shares may be traded.

The liability of the Sponsor and the Trustee under the Depositary Trust Agreement is limited and, except as set forth in the Depositary Trust Agreement, they are not obligated to prosecute any action,
suit or other proceeding in respect of any Trust property.

The Depositary Trust Agreement provides that neither the Sponsor nor the
Trustee assumes any obligation or is subject to any liability under the Trust Agreement to any Shareholder, except that they each agree to perform their respective obligations specifically set forth in the Depositary Trust Agreement without
negligence or bad faith. Additionally, neither the Sponsor nor the Trustee is obligated to, although each may in its respective discretion, prosecute any action, suit or other proceeding in respect of any Trust property. The Depositary Trust
Agreement does not confer upon Shareholders the right to prosecute any such action, suit or other proceeding.

##### Table of Contents

The Depositary Trust Agreement may be amended to the detriment of Shareholders without their consent.

The Sponsor and the Trustee may amend most provisions (other than those addressing core economic rights) of the Depositary Trust
Agreement without the consent of any Shareholder. Such an amendment could impose or increase fees or charges borne by the Shareholders. Any amendment that increases fees or charges (other than taxes and other governmental charges, registration fees
or other expenses), or that otherwise prejudices any substantial existing rights of Shareholders, will not become effective until 30 days after written notice is given to Shareholders.

The License Agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon may be terminated by The Bank of New York Mellon in the event of a material breach. Termination of the License Agreement might lead to early
termination and liquidation of the Trust.

The Bank of New York Mellon (BNY Mellon) and an affiliate of the Sponsor have
entered into a License Agreement granting the Sponsors affiliate a license to certain patent applications made by BNY Mellon covering systems and methods for securitizing a commodity. The Sponsors affiliate has sublicensed the license to
the Sponsor. The license is limited to a non-exclusive grant for the life of BNY Mellons patents and patent applications. The License Agreement provides that each of the parties may provide notice of intent to terminate the License Agreement
in the event the other party commits a material breach. If the License Agreement is terminated and one or more of BNY Mellons patent applications issue as patents, then BNY Mellon may claim that the operation of the Trust violates its patent
or patents and seek an injunction forcing the Trust to cease operation and the Shares to cease trading. In that case, the Trust might be forced to terminate and liquidate, which would adversely affect Shareholders.

MOVEMENTS IN THE PRICE OF RUSSIAN RUBLE

The
investment objective of the Trust is for the Shares to reflect the price in USD of the Russian Ruble plus accrued interest, less the expenses of the Trusts operations. The Shares are intended to provide institutional and retail investors with
a simple, cost-effective means of gaining investment benefits similar to those of holding Russian Rubles. Each outstanding Share represents a proportional interest in the Russian Rubles held by the Trust. The following chart illustrates recent
movements in the price of Russian Ruble in USD based on the Closing Spot Rate.

LIQUIDITY

The Sponsor is not aware of any trends, demands, conditions or events that are reasonably likely to result in material changes to the Trusts liquidity needs. The Trusts Depository, JPMorgan
Chase Bank, N.A., London Branch, maintains two deposit accounts for the Trust, a primary deposit account that is expected to earn interest and a secondary deposit account that does not earn interest. Interest on the primary account, if any, accrues
daily and is paid monthly. The interest rate in effect as of October 31, 2009 was an annual nominal rate of 1.30%. The following chart provides the daily rate paid by the Depository since the Shares began trading on NYSE Arca:

##### Table of Contents

In exchange for a fee, the Trusts Sponsor bears most of the expense incurred by the Trust. As a
result, the only ordinary expense of the Trust during the periods covered by this report was the Sponsors fee. Each month the Depository deposits into the secondary deposit account accrued but unpaid interest, if any, and the Trustee withdraws
Russian Rubles from the secondary deposit account to pay the accrued Sponsors fee for the previous month plus other Trust expenses, if any. When the interest deposited, if any, exceeds the sum of the Sponsors fee for the prior month plus
other Trust expenses, if any, the Trustee converts the excess into USD at a prevailing market rate and distributes the USD as promptly as practicable to Shareholders on a pro rata basis (in accordance with the number of Shares that they own).
Distributions paid during the current reporting period follow (annualized yield reflects the estimated annual yield an investor would receive if a monthly distribution stayed the same for the entire year going forward, and is calculated by
annualizing the monthly distribution and dividing by the Trust NAV for the dates listed below):

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Sponsors management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period covered by this report.

In addition to the description below, please refer to Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our accounting policies.

The functional currency of the Trust is the Russian Ruble in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 830, Foreign
Currency Translation.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

As of October 31, 2008 the number of Russian Rubles owned by the Trust was 1,000 resulting in a redeemable capital share value of $37. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009, an
additional 200,000 Shares were created in exchange for 200,000,000 Russian Rubles and 50,001 Shares were redeemed in exchange for 50,001,000 Russian Rubles. As of October 31, 2009, the number of Russian Rubles owned by the Trust was 150,000,000
resulting in a redeemable capital share value of $5,157,486.

Growth in the Trusts redeemable capital share value from $37 at
October 31, 2008 to $5,157,486 at October 31, 2009, was primarily the result of an increase in the number of shares outstanding (once the Shares commenced trading on November 13, 2008) from 1 at October 31, 2008 to 150,000 at
October 31, 2009.

The Trusts net income for the year ended October 31, 2009 was $150,363 as a consequence of the Trusts
interest income of $162,501 exceeding the Trusts expenses of $12,138.

The Sponsors fee accrues daily at an annual nominal rate of
0.40% of the Russian Rubles in the Trust. The Sponsors fee did not accrue on the Russian Rubles associated with the 1 seed share in the Trust for the period from August 8, 2008 (date of inception) through October 31, 2008. As a
result, the Sponsors fee was $0 for the period ended October 31, 2008. The Sponsors fee began accruing when the Shares commenced trading on November 13, 2008. Due primarily to an increase in the weighted-average Russian Rubles
in the Trust, the Sponsors fee increased from $0 for the period ended October 31, 2008 to $12,138 for the year ended October 31, 2009. The only expense of the Trust during the year ended October 31, 2009 was the Sponsors
fee.

##### Table of Contents

The Trust did not earn interest income on the Russian Rubles associated with the 1 seed share in the Trust
for the period from August 8, 2008 (date of inception) to October 31, 2008. As a result, interest income was $0 for the period ended October 31, 2008. The Trust began earning interest income when the Shares commenced trading on
November 13, 2008. As a result, interest income increased from $0 for the period ended October 31, 2008 to $162,501 for the year ended October 31, 2009, attributable primarily to an increase in the weighted-average Russian Rubles in
the Trust. The annual nominal interest rate paid by the Depository was 1.30% at October 31, 2009.

There were no cash dividends per Share
paid by the Trust for the period from August 8, 2008 (date of inception) to October 31, 2008 since interest was not earned for the period. Interest income began accruing when the Shares commenced trading on November 13, 2008. As a
result, the cash dividends per share increased from $0.00 for the period ended October 31, 2008 to $1.41 per Share for the year ended October 31, 2009.

|---------- | ------------------------

EVALUATION
OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The chief executive officer and chief financial officer of the Sponsor have evaluated the
effectiveness of the Trusts disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) as of October 31, 2009. Based on that
evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of the Sponsor have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures of the Trust were effective as of the end of the period covered by this annual report.

MANAGEMENTS REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

The Sponsors management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined under Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. The
Trusts internal control over financial reporting is based on criteria established in Internal Control  Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and is designed to
provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Internal control over
financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Trusts assets; (2) provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that the Trusts receipts and expenditures are being made only in
accordance with appropriate authorizations; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the trusts assets that could have a material effect on the
financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become ineffective because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders of CurrencySharesSMRussian Ruble Trust:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of financial condition and the related statements of income and comprehensive income, of changes in shareholders equity and of cash flows present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of CurrencySharesSMRussian Ruble Trust (the Trust) at October 31, 2009 and October 31, 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended October 31, 2009 and for the period August 8, 2008 (date of
inception) through October 31, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trusts management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

CurrencySharesSMRussian Ruble Trust

Notes to Financial Statements



|1. | Organization and Description of the Trust
|-- | -----------------------------------------

The CurrencySharesSMRussian Ruble Trust (the Trust) was formed under the laws of the State of New York on August 7, 2008. On August 8, 2008, Rydex Specialized Products LLC d/b/a Rydex Investments (the Sponsor)
deposited 1,000 Russian Rubles in the Trusts primary deposit account held by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., London Branch (the Depository). The Sponsor is a Delaware limited liability company whose sole member is PADCO Advisors II,
Inc. (also d/b/a Rydex Investments). The Sponsor is responsible for, among other things, overseeing the performance of The Bank of New York Mellon (the Trustee) and the Trusts principal service providers, including the
preparation of financial statements. The Trustee is responsible for the day-to-day administration of the Trust.

The investment objective of
the Trust is for the Trusts shares (the Shares) to reflect the price of the Russian Ruble plus accrued interest less the Trusts expenses and liabilities. The Shares are intended to provide investors with a simple,
cost-effective means of gaining investment benefits similar to those of holding Russian Rubles. The Trusts assets primarily consist of Russian Rubles on demand deposit in two deposit accounts maintained by the Depository: a primary deposit
account which is expected to earn interest and a secondary deposit account which does not earn interest. The secondary deposit account is used to account for interest received and paid out on creations and redemptions of 50,000 Shares
(Baskets). The secondary account is also used to account for interest earned, if any, on the primary deposit account, pay Trust expenses and distribute any excess interest to holders of Shares (Shareholders) on a monthly
basis.

The accompanying audited financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.



|2. | Significant Accounting Policies
|-- | -------------------------------



| | A. | Use of Estimates
| | -- | ----------------

The preparation
of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the assets, liabilities and disclosures of
contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period and the evaluation of subsequent events through January 14, 2010, the issuance date of the financial statements.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.



| | B. | Foreign Currency Translation
| | -- | ----------------------------

The Trustee
calculates the Trusts net asset value (NAV) each business day, as described in Note 4. For NAV calculation purposes, Russian Ruble Deposits (cash) are translated at the Closing Spot Rate, which is the Russian Ruble/U.S. dollar
(USD) exchange rate as determined by WM/Reuters at 4:00 PM (London time) on each day that NYSE Arca is open for regular trading.

Codification (ASC) 830, Foreign Currency Translation. For financial statement reporting purposes, the U.S. Dollar is the reporting currency. As a result, the financial statements are translated from Russian Rubles to USD. The Closing Spot
Rate on the last day of the period is used for translation in the statements of financial condition. The average Closing Spot Rate for the period is used for translation in the statement of income and comprehensive income and the statement of cash
flows. Any currency translation adjustment is included in comprehensive income.



| | C. | Federal Income Taxes
| | -- | --------------------

The Trust is
treated as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes and, therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is required. Interest, gains and losses are passed through to the Shareholders.

Shareholders generally will be treated, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as if they directly owned a pro-rata share of the assets held in the Trust.
Shareholders also will be treated as if they directly received their respective pro-rata shares of the Trusts income, if any, and as if they directly incurred their respective pro-rata shares of the Trusts expenses. The acquisition of
Shares by a U.S. Shareholder as part of a creation of a Basket will not be a taxable event to the Shareholder.

The Sponsors fee accrues
daily and is payable monthly. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, an accrual-basis U.S. Shareholder generally will be required to take into account as an expense its allocable share of the USD-equivalent of the amount of the Sponsors fee
that is accrued on each day, with such USD-equivalent being determined by the currency exchange rate that is in effect on the respective day. To the extent that the currency exchange rate on the date of payment of the accrued amount of the
Sponsors fee differs from the currency exchange rate in effect on the day of accrual, the U.S. Shareholder will recognize a currency gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

The Trust does not expect to generate taxable income except for gain (if any) upon the sale of Russian Rubles and interest income. A non-U.S. Shareholder
generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax with respect to gain recognized upon the sale or other disposition of Shares, or upon the sale of Russian Rubles by the Trust, unless: (1) the non-U.S. Shareholder is an individual and is
present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year of the sale or other disposition, and the gain is treated as being from United States sources; or (2) the gain is effectively connected with the conduct by the non-U.S.
Shareholder of a trade or business in the United States.

A non-U.S. Shareholders share of any interest income earned by the Trust
generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax unless the Shares owned by such non-U.S. Shareholder are effectively connected with the conduct by the non-U.S. Shareholder of a trade or business in the United States.



| | D. | Revenue Recognition
| | -- | -------------------

Interest on the
primary deposit account, if any, accrues daily as earned and is received on a monthly basis.

| | E. | Dividends
| | -- | ---------

To the extent that the
interest earned by the Trust, if any, exceeds the sum of the Sponsors fee for the prior month plus other Trust expenses, if any, the Trust will distribute, as a dividend, the excess interest earned in Russian Rubles effective on the first
business day of the subsequent month. The Trustee will direct that the excess Russian Rubles be converted into USD at the prevailing market rate and the Trustee will distribute the USD as promptly as practicable to Shareholders on a pro rata basis
(in accordance with the number of Shares that they own). For the month of October 2009, an income distribution of $0.04381 per share was paid on November 9, 2009.



|3. | Russian Ruble Deposits
|-- | ----------------------

Russian Ruble
principal deposits are held in a Russian Ruble-denominated, interest-bearing demand account. For the year ended October 31, 2009, there were Russian Ruble principal deposits of 200,000,000 and Russian Ruble principal redemptions of 50,001,000
resulting in an ending Russian Ruble principal balance of 150,000,000. This equates to 5,150,904 USD. For the period from August 8, 2008 (date of inception) to October 31, 2008, there were Russian Ruble principal deposits of 1,000 and no
Russian Ruble principal redemptions resulting in an ending Russian Ruble principal balance of 1,000. This equates to 37 USD. In addition, net interest, if any, associated with creation and redemption activity is held in a Russian Ruble-denominated
non-interest-bearing account, and any balance is distributed in full as part of the monthly income distributions, if any.



|4. | Redeemable Capital Shares
|-- | -------------------------

Shares are
classified as redeemable for financial statement purposes, since they are subject to redemption. Shares are issued and redeemed continuously in Baskets in exchange for Russian Rubles. Individual investors cannot purchase or redeem Shares
in direct transactions with the Trust. Only Authorized Participants (as defined below) may place orders to create and redeem Baskets. An Authorized Participant is a participant of The Depository Trust Company (DTC) that is a registered
broker-dealer or other institution eligible to settle securities transactions though the book-entry facilities of DTC and which has entered into a contractual arrangement with the Trust and the Sponsor governing, among other matters, the creation
and redemption process. Authorized Participants may redeem their Shares at any time in Baskets.

Due to expected continuing creations and
redemptions of Baskets and the three-day period for settlement of each creation or redemption, the Trust reflects Shares created as a receivable. Shares redeemed are reflected as a liability on the trade date. Outstanding Shares are reflected at a
redemption value, which is the NAV per Share at the period end date. Adjustments to redeemable capital shares at redemption value are recorded against retained earnings, or, in the absence of retained earnings, by charges against the cumulative
translation adjustment.

The Trustee calculates the Trusts NAV each business day. To calculate the NAV, the Trustee
subtracts the Sponsors accrued fee through the previous day from the Russian Rubles held by the Trust (including all unpaid interest accrued through the preceding day) and calculates the value of the Russian Rubles in USD based upon the
Closing Spot Rate. If, on a particular evaluation day, the Closing Spot Rate has not been determined and announced by 6:00 PM (London time), then the most recent Closing Spot Rate shall be used to determine the NAV of the Trust unless the Trustee,
in consultation with the Sponsor, determines that such price is inappropriate to use as the basis for such valuation. In the event that the Trustee and the Sponsor determine that the most recent Closing Spot Rate is not an appropriate basis for
valuation of the Trusts Russian Rubles, they shall determine an alternative basis for such evaluation to be employed by the Trustee. The Trustee also determines the NAV per Share, which equals the NAV of the Trust divided by the number of
outstanding Shares. Shares deliverable under a purchase order are considered outstanding for purposes of determining NAV per Share; Shares deliverable under a redemption order are not considered outstanding for this purpose.



|5. | Sponsors Fee
|-- | -------------

The Sponsors
fee accrues daily at an annual nominal rate of 0.40% of the Russian Rubles in the Trust (including all unpaid interest but excluding unpaid fees, each as accrued through the immediately preceding day) and is paid monthly.

The Sponsor assumes and pays the following administrative and marketing expenses incurred by the Trust: the Trustees monthly fee, NYSE Arca listing
fees, SEC registration fees, typical maintenance and transaction fees of the Depository, printing and mailing costs, audit fees and expenses, up to $100,000 per year in legal fees and expenses, and applicable license fees. The Sponsor has also paid
the costs of the Trusts organization and the initial sales of the Shares, which were approximately $120,000 when the Trust was formed.

In certain exceptional cases the Trust will pay for some expenses in addition to the Sponsors fee. These exceptions include expenses not assumed by the Sponsor (i.e., expenses other than those identified in the preceding paragraph),
taxes and governmental charges, expenses and costs of any extraordinary services performed by the Trustee or the Sponsor on behalf of the Trust or action taken by the Trustee or the Sponsor to protect the Trust or the interests of Shareholders,
indemnification of the Sponsor under the Depositary Trust Agreement, and legal expenses in excess of $100,000 per year.

|6. | Related Parties
|-- | ---------------

The Sponsor is a related
party of the Trust. The Sponsor oversees the performance of the Trustee and the Trusts principal service providers, including the preparation of financial statements, but does not exercise day-to-day oversight over the Trustee or the
Trusts service providers. The Sponsor paid the costs of the Trusts organization and the initial sales of the Shares, as described in Note 5.



|7. | Concentration Risk
|-- | ------------------

All of the
Trusts assets are Russian Rubles, which creates a concentration risk associated with fluctuations in the price of the Russian Ruble. Accordingly, a decline in the price of the Russian Ruble to USD exchange rate will have an adverse effect on
the value of the Shares. Factors that may have the effect of causing a decline in the price of the Russian Ruble include national debt levels and trade deficits, domestic and foreign inflation rates, domestic and foreign interest rates, investment
and trading activities of institutions and global or regional political, economic or financial events and situations. Substantial sales of Russian Rubles by the official sector (central banks, other governmental agencies and related institutions
that buy, sell and hold Russian Rubles as part of their reserve assets) could adversely affect an investment in the Shares.

All of the
Trusts Russian Rubles are held by the Depository. Accordingly, a risk associated with the concentration of the Trusts assets in accounts held by a single financial institution exists and increases the potential for loss by the Trust and
the Trusts beneficiaries in the event that the Depository becomes insolvent.



|8. | Commitments and Contingencies
|-- | -----------------------------

Under the
Trusts organizational documents, the Sponsor is indemnified against any liability or expense it incurs without negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on its part. The Trusts maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as
this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.
