In 1918, the Russian Far East was contested territory — Soviet authority had collapsed, and regional branches of the State Bank were issuing their own emergency notes simply to keep commerce moving. The Khabarovsk branch produced this 25 Rouble note locally, which accounts for the rudimentary security: an official stamp in place of any engraved or watermarked protection. The printing infrastructure available in Khabarovsk at the time was nothing like what Moscow or Petrograd could offer.
The S-prefix Pick numbers covering this region reflect just how fragmented Russian currency became during the Civil War period. Khabarovsk itself changed hands multiple times between 1918 and 1922.
