Also includes more than five hundred regional repositories, which contains the remaining stocks. Mostly bars of various masses (100 g to several tens of kilograms) and gold coins.
How much gold Russia has a
Before the First world war the gold reserve of the Russian Empire was the largest in the world and was more than 1400 tons. But after the revolution and the civil war most of the wealth was stolen and moved to other countries. So in 1928 – according to information from an article by Explorer Mikhail Leontiev “How to change the country’s gold reserves” in the reserve of the USSR was only 150 tons of the precious metal. And the legacy of the Union after its collapse – Russia got only two times more gold. In any case, as stated Grigory Yavlinsky, the former in the early 90-ies of the Deputy Prime Minister of the young state.
According to public information the world gold Council in February 2024 gold reserve of our country is 2276 tons. It is quite a lot, and even more impressive looks if you convert the gold reserves into money. The price per Troy ounce (31.1 grams) today is 1 680 American dollars.

But there are plans for the investment of the gold reserves in the shares of major foreign companies. And here is the size of domestic wealth does not seem so huge.
