No doubt about it, it can be very frustrating having to deal with the CU and based on the displayed rate of 1 CU = 31.5 roubles that sounds like the CU is more closely tied to the Euro than to the dollar and I even seem to remember being told one time that the CU rate is essentially the Euro rate...However, being Russia I am sure that varies from place to place and even from day to day depending on what they feel like charging...Maybe one day things will be more straight forward and transparent so this will no longer be an issue...I think I have almost just become numb to the whole thing.
