     Hrivni and karbovantsi came in from the Russian Ukraine, the money of the democratic Peasant Republic. […] The hrivna was to have been equal to an Austrian crown, but even under the Ukrainian administration 100 hrivni were paid for 60 to 70 crowns. The naive claim appeared on the hrivni that they ranked “on an equality with gold,” but the Austrian crowns were truly a reminiscence of a golden age, the symbol of a once-firmly-established order.
