<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 1536894, member: 12789&quot;]They did not come out until after USSR, but the State Bank was still issuing notes into 1992.&nbsp; In summer 1991 the ruble was 33:1 to the US dollar, but by a year later maybe 90-100:1.&nbsp; Inflation was really bad and government was not keeping up with pay.&nbsp; By then many Kombinats were not even getting funds from government, so they pay workers in toilet paper, bread and make them have to somehow trade it for goods they needed.&nbsp; One of my friends was air hostess for Aeroflot then one of the Babyflots and only got paid for 1991-2 wages in 2008.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
