The Bolsheviks attempted to transform consumer stores into communes comprised of groups of local businesses in April 1918. At first, participation was voluntary, but was quickly made compulsory.

The Standard Catalog of World Paper Money does not include these issues, which are rare if auction appearances and realizations are an accurate barometer. In late 2012, a 25 Rubles note was offered at auction in Russia and sold for 49,000 Rubles (approximately $1,500). An interesting piece of Russian history that grades PMG About Uncirculated 55 EPQ.
