Soviet Document question

[Ed_Haynes]

While many of my recent questions languish, I'll try one more.

A document. What is it?

And the interior. What can be read, what can be known?

Thanks.

Ed,

This is a first class driver's license. It authorizes him to operate vehicles (automobiles) with the exception of buses and ambulances.

Thanks "Slava". Part of this great stack of family documents I have just received. Think this is the same as the young man in some of the photos I have posted elsewhere. Guess we all age, eh?

It's a family member of the guy in your other thread - the name of this man is Yevgeny Stanislavovich Strod.

Thanks. All part of a puzzling stack of family documents and photos and even a few medals.

Wait until you see the remainder, Doc, just wait 'till you see the rest. But translationbs are (always) a problem. Why am I so illiterate!

Looks like he drove machine-gun cars during the (civil) war then drove (whatever) in Leningrad later on? Seems a pretty early driver's license.

Still figuring out what sort of name is "Strod" -- an odd name?

As developed in other threads, his wife got a Defense of Leningrad and his son became a submariner. Not a bad family saga?

What I have is:

Yevgeny Stanislavovich Strod

Maria Alexandrovna Strod (his wife)

Viktor Yevgenievich Strod (their son)

There may be others hiding in the heap of documents and photos.

Family was from Leningrad.

Yevgeny Stanislavovich was in (presumably) automobile machine gun corps in the Civil War.

Viktor Yevgenievich was in navy in WWII and after (presumably submarines).

Would this have been the kind of badge he wore? I believe it to be a WW I armored car driver or unit badge.

Possibly, Chuck, possibly. See http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=21104

Not quite the same. Just similar themes, I guess. Worth a shot. Your threads are very interesting.

On further review, that might be the same badge as the front-center fellow in post #4.
