| Comments |
The Far Eastern Republic was a deliberately constituted buffer state, proclaimed in April 1920 at Soviet instigation to forestall direct confrontation with Japan, whose forces still occupied parts of the Russian Far East. Moscow needed a nominally independent, nominally democratic government to manage the withdrawal — the FER was that fiction made administrative. Its paper money, issued in Chita, was part of making the state look functional.
The series circulated alongside a chaotic mix of Kolchak leftovers, Japanese military scrip, and Chinese currency. When the FER was absorbed into Soviet Russia in November 1922, its notes were declared worthless without a formal redemption program, leaving substantial quantities unredeemed.
