Guest Rick Research Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Could be. Comrade Vladimir Ivanovich Frolov was a Major "of Interior Services" which is prisons guards. Whether a CIVIL police type prison or the MVD troops variety, I do not know.It was signed in the period when the MVD/Police were renamed the MOOP, by Minister of the Moldavian SSR MOOP (Ministry for the Preservation of Public Order), General 3rd Rank of Interior Services (Major General) N. Bradulov. The stamp is his, and thus of the top level, where a lesser Comrade's stamp would have indicated precisely where in the broad range of "services" the Major actually served. Chuck and I have both showed awards to civil prison types in "interior services." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
