Russia bond, Irkutsk 1917 This bond dates from the year of the Bolshevik revolution. 200 rubles P-S886. During the Russian Civil War, which broke out after the October Revolution, the city of Irkutsk to whom this Bond was issued became the site of many furious, bloody clashes between the "White movement" and the "Red Bolsheviks". In 1920, Aleksandr Kolchak, the commander of the largest contingent of anti-Bolshevik forces, was executed in Irkutsk. This effectively destroyed the anti-Bolshevik resistance. Bolshevik revolutionaries overthrew the Provisional government, subsequently creating the Soviet government. The amounts of payments in default were enormous., the repudiation of the old debt by the Soviet government shocked international finance and triggered unanimous condemnation by the governments of the great powers. The revolutionary Russia completely fell out of the world economy and sealed itself up in isolation. Seller Inventory # 16790
