| Comments |
The Northwest Front Field Treasury was a short-lived financial apparatus created to support Yudenich's White Army during its 1919 offensives toward Petrograd. These notes were issued under considerable operational pressure — the Northwest Army came within striking distance of the city in October 1919 before being driven back by Red Army counterattacks and collapsing entirely by early 1920.
Lianozov served as head of the Northwest Government, a civilian body the British pushed Yudenich to establish as a condition of continued support. The pairing of a military commander and a civilian premier on the same note reflects that uneasy arrangement. The government it represented dissolved within weeks of the military defeat.
