| Opmerkingen |
Romania was occupied by Soviet forces following the August 1944 armistice, and the Red Army Command issued these notes — sometimes called "occupation lei" — to pay Soviet troops without drawing on existing Romanian National Bank reserves. The arrangement was deliberate: by printing their own lei in Moscow at Goznak rather than requisitioning the Banca Națională's stock, Soviet military authorities sidestepped formal accountability for the inflationary pressure the notes would inevitably generate.
Romania was ultimately required to absorb the full face value of this currency into its postwar monetary system, a condition written into the armistice terms. The resulting inflation contributed materially to the financial destabilization that preceded the communist takeover.
