What Sberometer does
Sberometer Bot is the Telegram companion to the sberometer.ru project, which tracks the current market rate alongside the official Bank of Russia rate for the dollar and euro, and extends to every other currency the CBR quotes, plus oil and gold prices. That combination — market rate next to official CBR rate — is genuinely useful if you specifically want to know how far the everyday exchange-office price has drifted from the Central Bank's published reference value.
Because it mirrors an existing public website rather than being a bot built from scratch, there is a reasonable expectation of an established, checkable data source behind the numbers, which matters more for finance than for most other bot categories. The bot's own Telegram bio does not spell out commands, so the safest way to explore it is to send /start and follow whatever menu it presents.
It suits anyone who wants the CBR reference numbers specifically — for accounting, reporting a foreign-currency price in rubles, or just satisfying curiosity about where the ruble stands today — rather than someone who wants live inline conversion inside another chat.
