In Russia, starting in 2026, state employees will begin to be paid salaries in “digital rubles.”

This was reported by the Main Intelligence Directorate, Censor.NET reports .

As noted, the Central Bank of the aggressor state of Russia plans to introduce the so-called “digital ruble” – an electronic code for the domestic currency created by Kremlin financiers. And from the beginning of 2026, Russian state employees will begin to be paid salaries in “digital rubles.”

The aggressor state will fully control the circulation of the virtual ruble: it will track every transaction.

The GUR notes that spending digital rubles will be able to be limited by the citizen’s place of residence or type of goods.

In addition, the Kremlin regime will be able to block citizens’ accounts and automatically deduct taxes and fines from them without a court decision. Russians will be able to spend social benefits only on specific groups of goods and services that the authorities will determine.

“The creation and implementation of the “digital ruble” could potentially lead to the emergence of a system of “behavioral loyalty” – access to money and the freedom to dispose of it will depend on the political or social “reliability” of a citizen. The “digital ruble” is another step by the criminal regime in Moscow, aimed at strengthening total control over its own population and a tough financial policy in the face of sanctions and insane spending on the genocidal war against Ukraine,” the GUR added.
