The Central Bank of the Russian Federation, commonly known as the Bank of Russia, was incorporated on July 13, 1990.Initially, it operated within the State Bank of the USSR as the Russian Republic Bank; however, it became separate and independent due to the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
As defined under the Russian Constitution, the Bank of Russia is an independent institution responsible for its primary goal of maintaining the stability and reliability of the Russian Federation's currency, the ruble. In fulfilling this mandate, the CBR's independence means that it does not need to respond directly to federal authorities, regional authorities, or local administrations.
