10 Roubles Nikolsk-Ussurijsk; PoW Camp

During the Russian Civil War, the Allied intervention in the Far East created a patchwork of local military administrations, each scrambling to manage pay and exchange with whatever instruments they could produce. The Nikolsk-Ussurijsk prisoner of war camp scrip belongs to that chaotic moment — a functional necessity rather than any formal monetary policy. Czech Legion troops and various Allied detachments moved through the region, and local camp authorities issued their own denominated notes to handle internal transactions.

Campbell 7010 is one of the more obscure entries in the whole Siberian intervention series. Attribution to specific printing arrangements remains difficult; documentation from the camp's administration largely did not survive the period.
