I am very stupid - how does that graph show that the Ruble is getting stronger?

Oh wait I think I get it ty
15 0 Reply1 dollar used to be exchangeable for 91 rubles
now 1 dollar can only be exchanged for 85 rubles
this means the dollar is inflating faster than the ruble
and possibly that the ruble is deflating (though that part I am not sure of)

Previously, Russians could use their 91 rubles to buy a dollar. Now they can buy a dollar AND have 6 rubles left over, because the dollar only costs 85. This means the ruble can buy more dollars, so it's becoming stronger.
