The Russian rouble was revalued in 1998, at a rate of 1000:1. So theoretically, your 1000 rouble note has a face value of 1 new rouble, which converts at current market rates to almost 3 US cents. However, they were demonetized and withdrawn in 2002 - I do not think there is anywhere in Russia you can take them now to get "face value" for them. They are collectables only.
And as collectables, I'm afraid they're not worth very much. The old Soviet-era notes have some sentimental value for some folks, but not these notes.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
