==={{RUB|100}} note controversy===

[[File:Russia100Rubles2001 Apollon.jpg|thumb|right|An image of the 100-ruble banknote, zoomed up to show a statue of the Greek god [[Apollo]] as depicted on top of the [[Bolshoi Theatre]] in Moscow; this version of Apollo is shown with his penis and testicles exposed (which was the case on the Bolshoi Theatre at the time of printing, though the original statue was amended with a [[fig leaf]] covering them) which led to one Russian politician, [[Roman Khudyakov]], to condemn the banknote as "pornography."]]

On 8 July 2014, [[State Duma]] deputy and vice-chairman of the Duma Regional Political Committee [[Roman Khudyakov]] alleged that the image of the Greek god [[Apollo]] driving a [[Quadriga]] on the portico of the [[Bolshoi Theatre]] in [[Moscow]] on the {{RUB|100}} banknote constitutes [[pornography]] that should only be available to persons over the age of 18. Since it is impractical to limit the access of minors to banknotes, he requested in his letter to the [[Governor of the Bank of Russia]] [[Elvira Nabiullina]] to immediately change the design of the banknote.<ref>{{cite news|title=На 100-рублевой купюре в Госдуме разглядели "порнографию" |trans-title=On the 100-ruble note in the State Duma discerned "pornography" |url=http://izvestia.ru/news/573537|agency=[[Izvestia]]|date=8 July 2014|access-date=8 July 2014|archive-date=8 July 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140708110924/http://izvestia.ru/news/573537|url-status=live}}</ref>

 

===Crimea controversy===

On 13 October 2017, the [[National Bank of Ukraine]] issued a decree forbidding the country's banks, other financial institutions and Ukraine's state postal service to circulate Russian banknotes which use images of [[Crimea]], a territory that is regarded as [[Annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation|Russian-occupied]] by Ukraine and whose annexation by Russia is not recognised by most UN member states.<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://malaysiandigest.com/frontpage/29-4-tile/702746-ukraine-refuses-to-circulate-new-russian-banknotes-depicting-crimea.html |title=Ukraine Refuses To Circulate New Russian Banknotes Depicting Crimea|work=Malaysian Digest |date =14 October 2017 |url-status = dead |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20180613134108/http://malaysiandigest.com/frontpage/29-4-tile/702746-ukraine-refuses-to-circulate-new-russian-banknotes-depicting-crimea.html |archive-date = 13 June 2018}}</ref> The NBU stated that the ban applies to all financial operations, including cash transactions, currency exchange activities and interbank trade.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://bank.gov.ua/control/en/publish/article;jsessionid=9E3F9BD4E9CAC5FE4629E12211087FA9?art_id=56987597&cat_id=76291|title=NBU Forbids Banks to Perform Transactions with Russian Banknotes and Coins Depicting Any Objects Located in the Occupied Territories of Ukraine|website=bank.gov.ua|access-date=2017-10-25|archive-date=13 June 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180613112040/https://bank.gov.ua/control/en/publish/article;jsessionid=9E3F9BD4E9CAC5FE4629E12211087FA9?art_id=56987597&cat_id=76291|url-status=live}}</ref> Crimea is featured on three banknotes that are currently in circulation – the {{RUB|100}} commemorative notes issued in 2015 and 2018, as well as the {{RUB|200}} note issued in 2017.
