The Council of Riga Workers' Deputies held power in the city for only five months — from January to May 1919 — before Latvian national forces, supported by German Freikorps units, retook the capital. This note belongs to that brief Soviet interlude, one of several short-lived revolutionary administrations that emerged across the former Russian Empire as central authority collapsed after 1917.
Over twelve million printed for a government that lasted under half a year. Most of these notes would have become worthless almost immediately upon issue, which paradoxically does not make survivors rare — they simply never wore out.
