Having being in Russia when actual bank runs took place there in the early 90s, this doesn't look like such a massive event. 5.5% devaluation is marginal, frankly. In a real bank run, the value of the dollar or gold could easily triple or more.

It does point to problems and instability, but not as such to an endgame.
