<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zantetsuken, post: 743315, member: 21665&quot;]During the Russian Civil War between 1917 and 1921, the Soviets had been fighting fiercely to hold on to control to what terriitory they had. One area they had a brief control of was <b>ARKHANGELSK~SOVIET</b> on the Arctic coast in north Russia in 1918. Later that same year the White regiment, along with their allies pushed the Soviets out, and took temporary control of the district. The specimen posted is a 25 Ruble note that dates from 1918 for the Soviet goverment.&nbsp; These same notes were counter-stamped later on the reverse in red ink with a double headed eagle and Russian legend to be used under the White administration.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://img199.imageshack.us/i/arkhangelsksoviet25rubl.jpg/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://img199.imageshack.us/i/arkhangelsksoviet25rubl.jpg/" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/6268/arkhangelsksoviet25rubl.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><i><b>ARKHANGELSK (SOVIET-MUNICIPAL)~25 Ruble &lt;1918&gt;</b></i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
