Soviet Communist Party Membership Book Registration Card * USSR CCCP Memorabilia

Original Soviet Cold War Era Communist Party Membership Record-card Book  (15.5 x 11 cm / 6" x 4.5" approx).  Original Soviet Union Communist Party membership record-card book, printed in Russian. Each individually serial numbered with a photograph (on page 2) of the party member to whom it was issued. On the front cover, the very top line translates to "Workers of the world, unite!" (This was the official motto of the USSR. A more literal translation is "Proletarians of all countries, unite!") The line below that translates to "Communist Party Soviet Union"; below that, "Registration Card Membership [followed by the initials of the Communist Party Soviet Union]"; below that, the serial number; and, below that, the three parts of the member's full name (Surname, Name, Patronym,) each on a separate line. The abbreviation on the bottom of the document is "Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union". Officially gathered, and then destroyed, after the collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 1990's, these are a few of the ORIGINAL passport-style red covered Communist Party membership books that escaped destruction and date from the 1950's through the early 1980's. Each showing the personal photo and information of the original owner including payment record of party dues, what an extremely interesting social history item from a now defunct totalitarian regime. Note: These are real people from the Soviet Union during the cold war era (not fictional, not reproductions), however, specific name and/or gender requests cannot be honored. The pictured examples are just that: examples. Each book is a one of a kind! Great Condition.
