3 Roubles Sakhalin

The Sakhalin Oblast People's Revolutionary Committee was a short-lived Bolshevik administration on the island during the chaotic period following the Russian Civil War. Japanese forces had occupied most of Sakhalin by 1920, effectively limiting the committee's territorial authority to a narrow zone in the north. Notes issued under this authority circulated under extreme geographic and political pressure, with supply lines severed and no meaningful backing behind the paper.

The S1277 series is poorly documented — printer, print run, and precise duration of issue are all uncertain. Survivors are rare, likely reflecting both small original quantities and subsequent destruction as Soviet administrative authority eventually consolidated.
