Guest Rick Research Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 No, it's the Communist Party of the Soviet Union record for a serving officer: "Registration Booklet for Member of the CPSU."I've never seen one before, but this is later than the period I usually have collected. It is, in its way, a thorough personnel file indeed supplying extremely detailed military records, but it was issued by the CPSU, not the MoD. This is NOT the usually seen CPSU members' DUES booklet.

Guest Rick Research Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 I thought we'd posted examples of the dues books before, but I couldn't find any on search, so I've been off scanning mine and will put it down in the Soviet Militaria section:http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=20033&hl=Meanwhile, the whirlwind tour through your Party Registration Book isIvan Il'ich Dem'yanov, born in Alekseevka in Belgorodsky Oblast 1945. Russian, Russian speaker. Komsomol 1961-69/Candidate Member CPSU September 1968 and full member October 1969-- both from Military Unit 55649.There is some notation about 1954 number 16,123,407 being exchanged (?) which I don't understand. His Party Number on the book cover was 4,643,070.Book filled out in 1973.His father was a guard (as in prison/gulag), currently fire department unit commander, while mother was a housewife.Higher education, graduated from Zhambovsky Military Aviation Technical School in 1967 with specialty as military radio technician.Received 1978 and 1988 jubilees. (He should also have had the 1968, and 10, 15, and 20 years service medals which are not mentioned)No foreign languages, last rank noted MAJOR.His military units show radio navigation and light technical positions. All the units are just numbers:worked as a lathe operator at the bed factory in Alekseevka 1963-64at military school mentioned above 1964-67Lt/platoon commander for radio navigation in Unit 11043 in the Siberian Military District 1967-71Sr Lt for radio navigation an light tech Unit 65267 in Leningrad Military District 1973-76Captain and commander of staff for Unit 62221 which is described oddly as "Soviet Army & Navy" 1976-78Staff commander for technical services in Unit 10236 described as "Soviet Army" 1978-1984Deputy Commander of something I can't read in Moscow Military District, 1984- (no end date)Looks to me like he was in radar antiaircraft, and may well have been on foreign advisor duty from the odd entries 1976+ to guess. Senior Lt and company commander same, 1971-73His date of rank as Captain was 21.12.73. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
