Two banknotes of Russia of 200 and 2000 Rubles both released on 12.10.2017. The main features of these two notes are Crimea and the Far Eastern part of Russia respectively. The 100 rubles was released on 30.06.2022.

The note is also printed with the map of Crimea with the city name of Sevastopol in Russian (СЕВАСТОПОЛЬ) included.
Crimea is a disputed territory between Russia and Ukraine. This autonomous Republic of Crimea was annexed by the Russian Federation on 18.03.2014, following a local referendum. The referendum was rejected by Ukraine. Prior to that, Crimea was under the control of Ukraine. Due to the unresolved conflict between Russian and Ukraine over Crimea, the Ukraine government has banned the handling of all Russian banknotes featuring landmarks of Crimea in all financial institutions in Ukraine, which also includes the previous 100 Rubles Commemorative note issued in 2015.
