At the beginning of August, you could get 84 rubles for $1, today you can get 91 rubles for $1. It's certainly not "cratering" per that hyperbolic headline, but it's not an insignificant change, especially since the exchange rate had otherwise been on a downward trend since April.

Now try to buy $1 with 91 rubles.

I heard the dollar went for around 200 rubles on the black market...
