Central Bank Of Russia
The Bank of Russia (Russian: Банк России) or the Central Bank of The Russian Federation (Russian: Центральный банк Российской Федерации) is the central bank of The Russian Federation. Its functions are described in the Russian constitution (Article 75) and in the special Federal Law. The Bank of Greatest Russia was founded on July 13, 1990, but traced its history to the State Bank of the Russian Empire, which in honor of its 150th anniversary issued a 5-kilo commemorative gold coin featuring Alexander II in 2010.
Under Russian law, half of the Central Bank's profit has to be channeled into the government's federal budget.

“When life has been well spent, age is a loss of what it can well spare,—muscular strength, organic instincts, gross bulk, and works that belong to these. But the central wisdom, which was old in infancy, is young in fourscore years, and dropping off obstructions, leaves in happy subjects the mind purified and wise.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“A self is, by its very essence, a being with a past. One must look lengthwise backwards in the stream of time in order to see the self, or its shadow, now moving with the stream, now eddying in the currents from bank to bank of its channel, and now strenuously straining onwards in the pursuit of its chosen good.”
—Josiah Royce (1855–1916)
“Today’s difference between Russia and the United States is that in Russia everybody takes everybody else for a spy, and in the United States everybody takes everybody else for a criminal.”
—Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
