1000 Roubles Provisional Siberian Administration

The Government of the Russian Eastern Borderlands was the administrative apparatus backing Ataman Grigory Semyonov, the brutal Transbaikal warlord who controlled the eastern reaches of Siberia after Kolchak's defeat and execution in early 1920. By the time this note was issued, Semyonov's authority was already collapsing — the Red Army was closing from the west, Japanese support was wavering, and the territory he nominally governed was shrinking week by week.

Currency issued under these conditions rarely circulated widely. Much of it was printed to pay troops who would soon scatter, and redemption was never a realistic prospect. Semyonov fled to Manchuria in late 1920.
