| Comments |
The Samara Directory — formally the Committee of Members of the Constituent Assembly, or Komuch — controlled a stretch of the middle Volga during the summer and autumn of 1918, operating as one of several anti-Bolshevik governments competing for legitimacy in the chaos of the Russian Civil War. The notes issued under Komuch authority were not newly designed instruments; they drew on existing Imperial and Provisional Government stocks, overprinted or revalidated for use in territory the Bolsheviks briefly lost control of after the Czech Legion's revolt along the Trans-Siberian Railway.
The 1915 Imperial Treasury series was among the types pressed into this service. Komuch's financial position was precarious from the outset, and the directory itself collapsed by November 1918 when the Ufa Directorate superseded it and then was in turn swept aside by Kolchak's coup.
