The 1 Ruble banknote from the USSR in 1961 is part of the 1961 series of the Soviet Ruble, which was the official currency of the Soviet Union. The Soviet Ruble was first introduced in 1922 during the early years of the Soviet Union and underwent several changes until its dissolution in 1991. The 1961 series was introduced by the government to replace the previous 1947 series.

The 1961 series was in circulation during a period of significant change in the Soviet Union. This was the era of the space race, and the Soviet Union was at the forefront of space exploration, with significant achievements such as the first manned spaceflight by Yuri Gagarin in 1961. The period was also marked by the leadership of Nikita Khrushchev, who initiated policies of de-Stalinization and relative liberalization in the country.

The Soviet Ruble was replaced by the Russian Ruble after the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991. The 1 Ruble note, like other Soviet-era notes, is now a collector’s item and a piece of history that represents a significant period in the 20th century.
