The Freedom Loan — Zaём Svobody — was launched by the Provisional Government in April 1917 as a desperate bid to keep Russia solvent and in the war. Kerensky toured the country personally promoting subscription drives. The public response was mixed at best; industrialists and middle-class patriots bought in, but the peasantry was largely indifferent, and the Bolsheviks actively campaigned against it.
These debenture bonds were printed domestically at the Expedition for the Procurement of State Papers in Petrograd — the same facility that had served the Tsarist treasury. After October 1917, the new Soviet government declared the entire loan void, rendering all outstanding bonds worthless overnight.
