What Курсы валют does
Курсы валют (@cbr_bot) is a small Russian-language bot for the question "what is that in rubles today". Its start message, as quoted by the BotoStore catalogue, explains the three things it does: show Central Bank of Russia rates (type «курс» and a currency or pick one from the list), convert any currency into rubles («100 евро», «214$») and convert rubles into any currency («1000 рублей в гривнах»). Buttons give quick access to the dollar, euro, oil, bitcoin, hryvnia and gold, the bot draws charts, and it also works inline in other chats.
Despite the username, it is not a Bank of Russia service: the bot names no owner, and its feedback link still points to the old Storebot catalogue, which suggests it has not been touched in years. It is free.
