In the article it states that visitors to the museum get 15 kopeks to operate the machines. 100 kopeks is one ruble. 1 dollar is 64 rubles. Therefore it costs something on the order of 0.001 cents to operate one of the machines. That’s some crazy inflation!
You have a small mistake in your calculation. 0.15/64 = 0.002$ which equals 0.2 cents. But!
It's much worse, actually. Russia conducted redenomination in 1998 with a coefficient 1000. Which means that 1000 old rubles were replaced by 1 new ruble. So considering this it would be 0.0002 cents.

Actually, in 1980th an official rate per US dollar was 0.6-0.7 RUB. But black market deals were 8-10 RUB per $.
