Komuch — the Committee of Members of the Constituent Assembly — controlled the middle Volga region for only a few months in 1918, from June until the Czechoslovak Legion and White forces were pushed back by the Red Army in the autumn. This note was issued from Samara during that brief window, making it one of the more politically specific emissions of the Russian Civil War period: not Tsarist, not Bolshevik, but the remnant of the democratically elected assembly that the Bolsheviks had dissolved at gunpoint in January 1918.
Komuch collapsed by September 1918. Notes issued under its authority had an exceptionally short legitimate circulation life.
