The 2023 redesign of the 1000-rouble note was announced by the Bank of Russia in August 2022, then delayed after the original imagery — featuring landmarks associated with Crimea — drew immediate political controversy. The Central Bank pulled the design before mass distribution and revised it, an episode that exposed, in unusually public fashion, the editorial pressures operating on what is normally a bureaucratic process.
Goznak's Moscow facility has produced Russian banknotes continuously since the Soviet period. The QR code inclusion reflects a push toward machine-readable authentication that began appearing across the refreshed rouble series from 2022 onward.
