Annotation: The article presents the main stages of the organisation of the Rybinsk interdistrict base (the IDB) of Ivanovo regional office Torgsin (Trade with Foreigners) and its further reorganisation. The questions about the evolution of managerial decisions during 1932-1933, sent from higher organisations, are investigated. Attention is paid to the information on the suppliers who served the IDB. Examples of economic and financial violations in the work of the store are given. The information on the key currency values attracted by Rybinsk IDB and its subordinate outlets in 1933-1934 is indicated. The comparison of the financial indicators of Rybinsk Torgsin IDB with the results of other divisions of Ivanovo regional office is carried out. Its contribution to the work of the regional office is noted. The reasons for the change in indicators in different periods have been studied. Particular attention is paid to calculating the weight volume of purchases of gold and silver. The dynamics of changes in indicators of the purchase of household gold and silver, of gold and silver coins, as well as the receipt of foreign currency are shown. The data on the countries from which the transfer operations were most actively carried out are presented. The potential economic effect from the activities of Rybinsk Torgsin IDB is considered.
