Originally, the ruble was the currency unit of Imperial Russia and then the Soviet Union. As of 2020 it is the currency unit of Russia, Belarus and Transnistria. The Russian ruble is also used in two regions of Georgia, the partially recognised states Abkhazia and South Ossetia. In the past, several other countries influenced by Russia and the Soviet Union had currency units that were also named rubles.
  The Russian rubles and Belarussian rubles are subdivided into one hundred kopeks. No kopek is currently formally subdivided, although denga and polushka have previously been minted.
