Did trade dollars ever circulate in Russia?

or any country outside of China? I only ask because I saw this listing for an UNC trade and its from Russia.
Any theories as to how it got there?

My theory is that someone said, "Let's try to fool an American collector", and made a fake. But, y'know, in Russian.
Among many practical details, they used a Type 1 Reverse, which was last used in 1876, not even going into actual reverse dies by date.
Photos for posterity:
Looks like the typical counterfeit trade dollar being produced in China these days.

I reported that one early this morning. Blatantly obvious fake with the rev type mismatch

It is long past the time to consider buying raw Trade Dollars unless you are a true expert in the series. This is especially true for anything with a "CC" on it.
I am glad I got the Trade dollars I wanted long before the counterfeiting tsunami.....Cheers, RickO

Not even a good fake. The more recent ones allegedly coming out of China are much more deceptive.
