Notes
Remarked by "Torgsin" in the 1930's.
Torgsin were state-run hard-currency stores that operated in the USSR between 1931 and 1936. Their name was an acronym of torgovlia s inostrantsami "trade with foreigners". Torgsin stores were open to Soviet citizens, provided they had access to hard currency, gold or jewels. Torgsin was established by the Sovnarkom chairman Vyacheslav Molotov's order of 5 July 1931 and disbanded 1 February 1936.
