Russian Paper Money — USSR period

The paper money of the USSR period underwent many emissions and changed its outlook very much. Most of it was printed on white paper and had watermarks, but the format and style of different series varies very much. For example, the 1918-1922 series are quite simplistic, while the 1923 one continues the traditions of the Imperial period. From 1925, the banknotes contained, in addition to the state symbols, pictures of people and their life (the worker and the farmer reading Karl Marx, a seeder, scenes of harvest, etc.). In 1937 for the first time Lenin himself appeared on the notes, and stayed there until 1992.

And one more money reform happened in 1961, the money nominal reduced 10 times again. But this time the reform was for good. Those banknotes lasted the longest in the history - until 1991. The only banknote changed during this period war the 1 ruble, and the cahnge was minor: the height of the serial number changed from 3.5 mm and 2.5 mm to 4 and 3 mm for the big and small letters. The other banknotes were printed unchanged.
