| Comments |
Issued during the chaotic final phase of anti-Bolshevik administration in the Russian Far East, this note comes from one of the more obscure issuing authorities of the Civil War period — a ministerial delegate rather than a bank or military command. The Authorized Representative of the Minister of Supply and Food had no business printing money, but supply chains had collapsed and local commerce demanded something to function on.
The Khabarovsk District changed hands repeatedly between 1918 and 1922. Notes from this authority had a short practical life before Soviet consolidation rendered them worthless, and survival rates reflect that turbulence.
