The counterfeit banknotes of Viktor Ivanovich Baranov are a famous chapter in the history of the Soviet Union. His craftsmanship was so high that the bills he created were practically indistinguishable from the state-issued ones, and in some aspects, even surpassed them. He produced these banknotes in makeshift conditions, in his own shed using homemade equipment.
