1 Rouble Russian Signatures

I have spent the greater part of this week's evenings trying to find any information I can find on the cashiers of this note besides their signatures. This is in regards to this forum I posted. Has anyone got some additional knowledge of these people even existing? These people could also be connected to the Dumas of Imperial Russia; I've seen quite a few of the same last names as the signatures included in them. I've searched Wikimedia Commons, Wikidata, International Standard Name Identifier (ISNI), and Google a plethora of times. I'm at the point where I'm starting to believe that the provisional govenrment made fake signatures.

Having searched Online State Archives for information on some obscurer German signatures I can tell you it is not easy to find a full name let alone find out more about a person that is not one of the highest ranking officials. If you go down to private bank level and you have Head Cashiers on the note, good look, if those records survived the wars in some archive or they existed in the first place … nobody knows.

It looks like these people really existed. Boris Pirozhkov in his book “Paper money of Russia 1898-1934” (in Russian language) writes that the “cashier” signature  actually belonged to employees of the Department of credit notes of the State Bank (and it does not matter what position they actually held).

BTW a search on RuNet brought me to an article of russian notaphilist Valerii Lazarev (in Russian language of course) in which he provides information about some cashiers (year of birth, religion, since what year in position).

 

For example:

“E. Geylman” is collegiate secretary Evgeniy Karlovich Geilman, Lutheran, born in 1885, in the State Bank department since 1910, in office since March 1916.

 

“Loshkin” is collegiate registrar Nikolai Konstantinovich Loshkin, Orthodox, born in 1884, in the State Bank department since 1915, in office since December 1915.

 

And so on.

Sorry for the late reply, could you please send the link to the article? I’d love to take a look at it!

Much appreciated, thank you!

A quick google search for “подписи кассиров на банкнотах российской империи” (cashier signatures on notes of imperial russia) returned a  few sites:
