Hello everyone! I want to share some historical information about Russian banknotes from 1898 to 2026 for our dear foreign readers!

The 3-ruble State Treasury Bill of the USSR was issued in 1938.

During the design process, the image of the Red Army soldier on the 3-ruble bill underwent several changes. Initially, Ivan Dubasov depicted the soldier in outdated military uniforms, with errors in the placement of cartridge pouches and belts. However, later, a photographer from the State Banknote Printing House was sent to the 3rd Rifle Division of the Moscow Proletarian Division to capture photographs of Red Army soldiers in their field gear.

On June 15, 1936, Ivan Dubasov created a new version of the portrait based on the photographs of the infantryman. However, during the development of the banknote, the Red Army received the first Soviet steel helmets, the SH-36. As a result, the image of the Red Army soldier had to be revised, and on July 29, 1936, Ivan Dubasov completed the final drawing that appeared on the banknote.

The Red Army soldier symbolized the readiness of citizens to defend their homeland and strengthen the USSR's defense capabilities in the 1930s.

И под "коллекционером" я не подразумеваю "я нашел на чулане чирик 1961 года, я теперича коллекционер".(хотя так зарождались многие коллекции)

Немного контекста ( самолюбования ):

Я выше уровня "любитель" и "продвинутый". К слову – в процессе написания энциклопедии о бумажном денежном обращении и экономическом положении в России в 1890-1947 гг. (86я страница в процессе). Собрал коллекцию на примерно треть миллиона за 2 года. На некоторые экземпляры уходит по 10к руб. Веду блог по бонистике.

К интересу: Какими вы представляете себе коллекционеров бумажных денег (какой образ в голове)? Каков на ваш взгляд возраст бонистов?

Это было незабываемо!
