Looks like some sort of stock maybe? Looks like it's in Russian as well.

"Looks like some sort of stock maybe? Looks like it's in Russian as well."
I could take it out and see if I could smooth out some of the edges if it would help? If I knew what language I may be able to translate it

The characters are Cyrillic. This could be Russian Chek or Baltic area depending on age. See date of 1939, so most likely non-monetary. Stock or land acquisition possibly, this was right at the entry of Russia in WW2, nice historical slant. Grandmother or older relatives from those area?.

It's literally something I inherited from a friend of my grandmother, I can't really fact check this. Would it be possible for you to help me translate it? There's more on the back, but I'm afraid it might be sensitive information. |

Sorry Petrichor, I don't know Russian, some German and Spanish. Know it's those language groups because of am able to at least recognize characters from other currency I have researched before. For exact regional, no. There is a CCF member from Russia, Moskow I think, maybe he'll weigh in and help.

It's certainly (mostly) in Russian, and comes from the Soviet Union.
What I can definitely read (not complete, and not in order): 100 rubles, Percent-less (i.e. zero-interest) Issue of Obligations, State Loan? (see below) of Third Five-year (plan), Second? year.
Presumably 1939; I don't know whether this is actually the 2nd year of the 3rd plan.
The ten or so lines near the bottom appear to be translations of the phrase "State Loan of Third Five-year" into the languages of other Soviet republics.
(Translation based on the first two lines, which are Ukrainian and Belorussian; the word I translated as "loan", which is unreadable in the Russian text and unrecognizable in the Ukr. and Bel., guessed from the last few lines, which appear to use the Russian term.)
I do not know any of those languages well enough to comment further.
I used to have some similar notes from the 1980s (hadn't seen them in a while); they were basically "we will pay you X money after Y years" coupons* mixed with some kind of state lottery. Not sure if this 1939 note is the same thing.
Probably not worth anything in this broken-in-four condition, anyway.
*) in my case, Y was equal to 20, which put the redemption date sometime in the early 2000s, at which point the 100 old rubles were worth about $0.003; I don't see any such figure on this note, but it could have been on the other side
