RTRS:UPDATE 1-Russian gold/fx reserves hit new pre-crisis peak
 
* Russia's gold-fx reserves add $5.2 billion in latest week

* Euro asset revaluation, central bank buys are main drivers

(Adds detail, background, economist quotes)

MOSCOW, June 16 (Reuters) - Russia's gold and foreign exchange reserves rose to $528.0 billion in the week to June 10, the highest since the economic crisis of 2008-09, central bank data showed on Thursday.

Russia, which holds the world's third largest reserves, has increased them by 10 percent so far this year, compared with a 3 percent increase in the same period last year.

The reserves tumbled during the crisis when the central bank haemorrhaged a third of the stash in propping up the rouble during a managed devaluation.

In the latest week, Russia's reserves rose $5.2 billion, mainly due to higher euro asset values and currency purchases by the central bank.

The Bank of Russia's purchases and upward revaluation of securities accounted for $1.33 billion of the amount. The other $3.9 billion came from a positive revaluation of the euro, British pound, yen, and Canadian dollar, said Vladimir Tsibanov, economist at Rosbank.
