| Comments |
The Ekaterinodar branch of the State Bank began issuing its own notes in 1918 as the Kuban region fell into the administrative chaos of the Russian Civil War — regular currency supply from Petrograd and Moscow had collapsed entirely, and local commerce needed something functional. These emergency issues were a pragmatic response by branch officials who were, technically, still operating under the authority of a central government that no longer controlled them.
Ekaterinodar itself changed hands multiple times during the Civil War, passing between White and Bolshevik forces. Notes from this branch had a correspondingly short and turbulent circulation life.
