Manifesto of the Emperor Alexander I "On approval of the Ministries" was founded several ministries, including Ministry of Finance of the Russian Empire.〔(History of Russian banking ), Institute for Banking by the Association of Russian Banks〕 In the Soviet Union, the Ministry was renamed as the Ministry of Finance (MOF USSR), which combines the Treasury of the Soviet republics, in particular the Ministry of Finance of the RSFSR. The Ministry of Finance of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic was part of the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR and was under the authority of the Soviet Ministry of Finance under The Council of Ministers of the USSR, the official name of the Soviet government. By Decree of the President of the RSFSR from November 11, 1991 (Presidential Decree № 190) The Ministry of Finance was merged with the Ministry of Economy of and the new ministry was called the Ministry of Economy and Finance of the Russian Federative Republic. Under Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federative Soviet Republic (later the Government of Russia) from November 15, 1991 (Resolution № 8) the Ministry of Finance was liquidated and its businesses and organizations transferred to the Ministry of Economy and Finance of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic.〔Officially, between November 11, 1991 and February 19, 1992, the ministry was named Ministry of Economy and Finance the Russian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic (Russian Federation)〕 From December 25, 1991 to February 19, 1992 the Ministry was called Ministry of Economy and Finance. By Presidential Decree of February 19, 1992 № 156, it was again divided into two ministries - the Ministry of the Economy and Finance Ministry. Because of the 2014 Crimean crisis, a number of Western countries aimed sanctions at Russia, with personal financial transactions by certain Russian individuals proscribed. Among these sanctioned individuals were Arkady Rotenberg and Boris Rotenberg, who also happened to be shareholders of certain Russian banks. On 24 March, MasterCard and Visa declined to permit transactions at these banks for a number of hours, ostensibly because they had misinterpreted the sanctions document.〔(cnn.com: "Visa and MasterCard resume service at two Russian banks" 24 Mar 2014 )〕〔("Visa, MasterCard block some Russian cards" 21 Mar 2014 )〕〔(npr.org: "Declined: Visa, MasterCard Freeze Out Targeted Russian Banks" 21 Mar 2014 )〕 Anton Siluanov, then-current Minister of Finance, told reporters on 26 March that he had revived plans to develop a Ruusian alternative card payment system to cut its dependence on Visa and MasterCard after these disruptions in their service.〔("Russia renews plan for domestic alternative to Visa, Mastercard" 26 Mar 2014 )〕 Siluanov said that "The payments restriction by Visa and Mastercard at one bank made us start thinking very seriously how we can secure ourselves against this kind of cases."〔 President Vladimir Putin agreed the next day in conference with legislators: "This wasn’t our decision. We need to defend our interests. And we’ll do that. It is really too bad that certain companies have decided on () restrictions(. ) I think this will simply cause them to lose certain segments of the market - a very profitable market."〔(euractiv.com: "Putin ‘sanctions’ Visa, Master Card" 27 Mar 2014 )〕〔(bloomberg.com: "Putin Touts Russian Proxy for Visa, MasterCard After Sanctions" 27 Mar 2014 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ministry of Finance (Russia)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
