The bonds were indeed a bit of "Russian Roulette". You pay X in and you are supposed to get X plus just over inflation out. In reality you can win or lose and everything in between. The house - in this case the state - always wins.

I personally don't believe in gambling and have never bought any sort of bond, lottery or raffle ticket etc but the bonds I was bought at birth paid off 500%. Many others will have received 0%.

I do have some Imperial Russian Bonds I'll have to scan one day.
