To further prove the words on the Web site look at the 1,000 roubles note - it bears the year 1917 and has the same design, with the same swastika. Considering that the revolution of 1917 occured on 25 Oct. no one would be able to put together such complex plates within 2 months.

This site offers a very nice collection of Russian treasury notes, old and new.

Sorry. Czar Nicholas II resigned in March 1917, so there was plenty of time for the provisional government to design and distribute the fylfot banknotes starting in 1917. And that’s exactly what they did.
