The State Bank of the Russian Empire was established in Saint Petersburg on 12 June 1860 by imperial decree following the collapse of the state-owned banking system.
The bank was created by an ukaz of Emperor Alexander II at the behest of Minister of Finance Alexander Knyazhevich. It took over the former building of the Russian Assignation Bank in Saint Petersburg, a structure commissioned by Catherine the Great in 1782 and completed in 1789.
