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.

“The Federal Constitution has stood the test of more than a hundred years in supplying the powers that have been needed to make the Central Government as strong as it ought to be, and with this movement toward uniform legislation and agreements between the States I do not see why the Constitution may not serve our people always.”

“The prairies were dust. Day after day, summer after summer, the scorching winds blew the dust and the sun was brassy in a yellow sky. Crop after crop failed. Again and again the barren land must be mortgaged for taxes and food and next year’s seed. The agony of hope ended when there was not harvest and no more credit, no money to pay interest and taxes; the banker took the land. Then the bank failed.”
—Rose Wilder Lane (1886–1968)
“To the Japanese, Portugal and Russia are neutral enemies, England and America are belligerent enemies, and Germany and her satellites are friendly enemies. They draw very fine distinctions.”
—Jerome Cady, U.S. screenwriter, and Lewis Milestone. Peter Voroshevski (Howard Clinton?)
