The Freedom Loan — "Zaïom Svobody" — was launched in April 1917 by the Provisional Government as an urgent attempt to keep Russia solvent and fighting. The underlying logic was patriotic appeal: the Tsar had fallen, the revolution had succeeded, and citizens were now being asked to fund a free Russia's war effort voluntarily. The response was deeply uneven. Urban workers were skeptical; the bourgeoisie bought in; the peasantry largely ignored it.
These debenture bonds circulated as de facto currency once coin and higher-denomination notes grew scarce — a function their issuers had not intended but could not prevent. The Bolshevik government repudiated all Provisional Government debt after October 1917, rendering them worthless almost immediately.
