1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Templeton Russia Fund, Inc. (the Fund) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a closed-

sales of securities and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the
exchange rate in effect on the transaction date. When the Fund purchases or sells foreign securities it will

prices on securities held. Such changes are included in net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.

between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the recorded
amounts of dividends, interest, and fo
