It can expire only when the Russians themselves grow sufficiently resolved to abolish it - if ever.

...asking, “What am I going to do with you?” The reply is always silence, predictably—but also appropriately, because even the animate among us can’t come up with a good answer. Indeed, it is high time to abolish the penny from our pockets because, sadly, it isn’t worth a red cent. Literally, it is worth one cent, but thanks to inflation, the days of penny candy are long over. A price of “one cent” in 1946 is today a dime. Nowadays...
