On the front side 5000 rubles depicts a monument to the Governor-General of Eastern Siberia N.M. Muravyov-Amursky, installed at the end of the 19th century in Khabarovsk. The reverse side shows a bridge across the Amur River in Khabarovsk. The bill says "Khabarovsk".

When my grandfather was less than me now, he began to build the Gorkovskaya hydroelectric power station (now Nizhegorodskaya).
And when her last hydroelectric unit was launched, he was hit by almost thirty. It was the mid 50s
and from the village of workers who built the station, a whole city grew up - the Volga region.
I saw the Nizhny Novgorod hydroelectric power station many times, and each time it caused a lot of impressions in me.
It is not surprising that I have always wanted to see the Krasnoyarsk hydroelectric power station, which is almost 12 times more powerful than the Nizhegorodskaya one.
A couple of months ago, the twisting fate of the photographer took me to the edge of the Yenisei River, where the station is located.

At the entrance he immediately meets a giant portrait of Lenin. What construction site of the century did without it?


Our ancestors in the literal sense of the word managed to defeat the laws of nature - in a harsh winter, to block one of the largest rivers in the world
and maintain the required air temperature at all 126 meters of the height of the technical objects of the station.


The dam weighs 15 million tons, which is comparable to the weight of 45 Empire State Building skyscrapers.


In 1972, when the hydroelectric station was launched, there were no more than ten similar facilities in the world.
In the Krasnoyarsk Territory, the station provides more than 50% of the energy demand. On a Russian scale, the share of hydroelectric power plants is 2.3%


The source for replenishment of the 334-kilometer Krasnoyarsk reservoir is the snow of the Sayan Mountains.


A whole city of power engineers, Divnogorsk, also grew up around the station.


With the commissioning of the station in the Krasnoyarsk Territory, the production of ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy was launched here,
chemical and woodworking enterprises.


This engine room is the heart of the hydroelectric power plant. Surprisingly, it is crystal clear and quite calm here.
True, a slight vibration of the floor is felt and a small hum is heard.
By the way, the round red structures are the tops of the hydraulic units.


Various electronics are installed here, which controls the industrial monster.


This device sets the parameters of the station mechanisms. It is better not to touch outsiders)


At the hydroelectric power station there is a bunch of all kinds of iron that does not allow radio waves to pass through, so mobile communication can be difficult -
here you need good old wired phones.


It seems that before my arrival, a painter with a brush walked around the station - everything glitters and shines.
Very different from the old Soviet production. The Western psychology of production already reigns here.


The hydroelectric power station works as follows: the mechanical energy of water is transferred to 12 hydrogenerators, where it is converted into electrical energy.


It is distributed through transformers between 220 and 500 kilovolt units.


And then it goes along power lines to consumers - factories and, in fact, ordinary residents of the Krasnoyarsk Territory.
By the mid-90s, the station was worn out by 50%. But only in the 2000s the reconstruction began. It will continue until 2013.
9 out of 12 hydrogenerators have already been repaired. After modernization, the station can operate for another 20 years.


An interesting diorama allows you to look at the scale of the hydroelectric power station.


On the territory of the station there is a memorial complex "Glory to Labor" in the form of a truck with a raised body.
The fact is that the car played one of the key roles in the construction of the hydroelectric power station.
During the peak period, 1,120 drivers and 842 vehicles - a whole battalion - took part in the work.


The water near the station is always cold, even in hot summer its temperature does not rise above 13 degrees.
Behind the dam, the river never freezes in winter for 200 km.


At night, the hydroelectric power station gains special beauty due to the illumination. I didn't have the opportunity to wait until darkness, so I took the photo on the Internet.


By the way, you could all see the Krasnoyarsk hydroelectric power station on a ten-ruble paper note of 1997 issue.
After its release, the station was chosen by tourists. Hundreds of people come to see the large-scale spillway every day.
I'm not the only one, apparently)

10 ruble banknotes of 1997 surely each of us has. They are still in use today. Most of them are ten-ruble paper bills that we use to pay in public transport and shops - modifications of 2004. Earlier modifications went out of circulation due to wear and tear.

Banknotes of 10 rubles, issued in 1997, are in demand among collectors, especially banknotes of rare series and modifications. Banknotes with a serial number consisting of a combination of identical numbers (for example - 2222222 or 555555) and representing a mirrored digital index (for example: 2340432 or 4440444) are dearly valued. Even modern banknotes with beautiful numbers are always in great demand in the numismatic market and are usually sold at twice the face value.

10 rubles of 1997 all series on the territory of the Russian Federation, depending on the condition of the note, can be bought for 80 - 100 RUR... "Ten" of 1997, which has no modification, is more expensive - about 300 r... This amount can vary up or down depending on the condition of the note. Similar banknotes of the rare series "FF" and "ЦЦ", which have a limited edition, can be bought for 800 and 400 rubles, respectively.


The impeccable condition of banknotes is indicated by the English word "press", which in translation into Russian means - press (the essence of the analogy is a new banknote, which has just been released from the press). What are the requirements for a “press” banknote?

  1. No wear and tear. Smooth, smooth and dense surface without bends and creases.
  2. No traces of damage and dirt.
  3. Bright colors, crisp lettering.
  4. Perfectly square corners.

What does modification mean?

This is the addition of new security signs to the structure of the banknote. Moreover, its appearance will remain practically unchanged. For example, in 2004. the 10-ruble note was modified with a strip on a metal base.

If you decide to sell ten-ruble bills of 1997, it is important to correctly assess their condition, since the amount that you can earn from the transaction directly depends on this. We advise you to use the English IBNS rating system, which is used by most collectors of rare banknotes.

Banknotes are evaluated according to their real physical condition, which is indicated by an abbreviation from English letters:

  • UNC is the new money that has never been in circulation.
  • AU is practically a new bill with the smallest signs of wear. AU banknotes may have weak creases and wet fingerprints.
  • XF is a banknote with slight wear, on which one break or three transverse or longitudinal bends are allowed.
  • Mandatory requirement: creases and bends should not intersect with each other. Miniature curves are possible at the corners.

  • VF - money with traces of circulation, intersecting bends, small spots, noticeable rounding at the ends. But banknotes must be firm and not frayed. The colors are bright.
  • F - banknotes that were in use. Banknotes may have spots, breaks, wrinkling marks, slightly torn edges.
  • VG - banknotes with traces of long-term use: bends, creases, stickers in dreams of tears, a small hole in the center of the note from frequent folding. The banknote must be whole without missing parts.
  • G - frayed, nondescript-looking bill - noticeable tears, multiple fractures, pronounced holes in the middle, large spots and ink inscriptions. But the integrity of the banknote must be preserved.
  • F - a bill with signs of minor damage.
  • P - a banknote with serious damage. For example, a bill torn in half and glued with tape.

The type of the Russian currency has been constantly changing throughout history. There were even times in Russia when there were banknotes worth 10,000 rubles, 50,000 rubles and 500,000 rubles. People, so to speak, were millionaires. True, the market value of this money was not great and many things could not be purchased with it. For example, a sleeping box cost 100 rubles, chewing gum 200 rubles, and ice cream from 800 to 1500 rubles. Gorgeous. There is a chance that someday we will return to similar times under the annual depreciation of money. It is also quite possible that new bills will appear in the future. After all, everything in our world can happen, because it is constantly in motion and changing. Money also changes, based on the economy, technical development and the needs of society. If we look at the electronic and technological development of the world, then we can assume that in the future money will be completely digital, and paper money will finally leave the arena.

In this article we will see what Russian rubles look like and find out what is depicted on them. We will consider paper bills, and not metal coins in denominations of 10 kopecks, 50 kopecks, 1 ruble, 2 rubles, 10 rubles.

In Russia, at the moment, paper money of the following denominations is issued: 10 rubles, 50 rubles, 100 rubles, 500 rubles, 1000 rubles and 5000 rubles. The money we use today officially appeared on January 1, 1998. Also, quite recently, on October 12, 2017, the Bank of Russia issued bills of 200 and 2,000 rubles, which took into account modern design requirements, improved protection against counterfeiting, and they can also be read by visually impaired people, since they have an increased relief.

You may have noticed that each Russian bill is dedicated to a specific city in Russia. And this is to some extent a feature of Russian money. So, for example, on American money () they depict outstanding people who played an important role in the life of the United States.

Well, now you know what Russian rubles look like and what is depicted on them.

We use money every day, but few of us thought about what and for what reason is depicted on each bill.

We use money every day, but few of us thought about what and for what reason is depicted on each bill.

From the very beginning, we can say about the main symbol of banknotes and the entire state - the two-headed eagle. Note that on money, the two-headed eagle is not crowned. This is due to the fact that the eagle without crowns symbolizes the Provisional Government. It is this symbol that is located on the money for the reason that I wanted to emphasize the temporary connection and the historical significance of the Bank of Russia, but it seemed too pretentious to place the crowned eagle.

All images on Russian banknotes are somehow connected with holy places and religious history. This is exactly the opposite of the original idea, according to which it was planned to place portraits of famous personalities on the money.

10 rubles. The banknote of this denomination depicts the city of Krasnoyarsk. The front part - the chapel of Paraskeva Pyatnitsa - is a saint who is the patroness of the family and domestic animals. The reverse part is the Krasnoyarsk hydroelectric power station with a bridge over the Yenisei River, which is included in the UNESCO book "The Best Bridges in the World".

The back part is the Solovetsky Monastery, which is one of the great shrines. This is a very famous and beloved architectural monument by many, so it is not surprising that it is he who is located on the bill.
