| Comments |
The United Bank's Zhytomyr branch issued these notes during the period when the city changed hands repeatedly between Bolshevik forces, the Ukrainian People's Republic, and White Army units — making orderly banking essentially impossible. Provincial branches across the former Russian Empire resorted to locally stamped and authorized scrip precisely because central currency supply had collapsed and whatever official notes existed were being hoarded or refused.
The S364 series from Zhytomyr is poorly documented, and the distinction between S364A and S364B likely reflects stamp variation or authorization differences rather than a formal redesign.
