The Central Bank of the Russian Federation (Russian: Центральный банк Российской Федерации), which brands itself as Bank of Russia (Russian: Банк России)[4][5] and is also commonly referred to in English as the Central Bank of Russia (CBR),[6][7][8] is the central bank of the Russian Federation. The bank was established on July 13, 1990.[8] It claims the legacy of the State Bank of the Russian Empire (1860-1920) and of the Soviet Gosbank (1921-1991), even though both institutions covered a significant larger territorial scope.[9]

The bank is headquartered on Neglinnaya Street in Moscow. Its functions are described in the Constitution of Russia (Article 75)[10] and in federal law.[citation needed]
