Comments

Belarus redenominated in 2000, slashing six zeros from the rouble — which means this 100,000-rouble note was the equivalent of just 10 roubles in the new series. The sheer scale of nominal inflation it embodies traces directly to the economic collapse that followed Soviet dissolution, when Belarus lacked the stabilization mechanisms that neighbouring states managed, however imperfectly, to implement.

The "Printed: 30.04.1945" field is almost certainly a catalog data error. No plausible interpretation connects that date to this note.
