Former bank in Russia
The Volga-Kama Commercial Bank (sometimes Volzhsko-Kamsky Commercial Bank, Russian: Во́лжско-Ка́мский коммерческий банк), often referred to simply as the Volga-Kama Bank, was a major commercial bank of the Russian Empire. Founded in 1870, it was Russia's largest private-sector bank by total assets at the start of the 20th century.[1]: 43 In late 1917 following the Russian Revolution, like all other commercial banks in Russia, it was absorbed into the State Bank with no compensation to its shareholders.[2] Its name refers to the rivers Volga and Kama.
