Kfz-Kennzeichen (Sowjetunion)
Vor 1959 waren sowjetische Kfz-Kennzeichen gelb mit schwarzer Aufschrift. Das Schild begann mit zwei kleinen hochgestellten kyrillischen Buchstaben, die die Herkunft des Fahrzeuges näher kennzeichneten. Es folgten zwei Zahlenpaare.
1958 wurde in der Sowjetunion ein neues Kennzeichensystem eingeführt. Die Schilder zeigten weiße Schrift auf schwarzem Grund und begannen mit zwei Zahlenpaaren getrennt durch einen Bindestrich. Es folgten abschließend drei verkleinerte kyrillische Buchstaben, von denen die ersten beiden die Herkunft des Fahrzeugs angaben. Kennzeichen für Test- und Probefahrten zeigten nach den Zahlenpaaren das Wort ПРОБА (deutsch Probe).
1980 wurden die Nummernschilder modernisiert und verlängert. Die Farben wurden getauscht; es gab nun schwarze Schrift auf weißem Grund. Bei privaten Kraftfahrzeugen erschien der ehemals letzte Unterscheidungsbuchstabe nun als erster, gefolgt von vier Zahlen und dem Regionskürzel. Kennzeichen für Staatsfahrzeuge behielten den Aufbau der alten Schilder nach dem Muster 1234 AБГ bei, allerdings ohne Bindestrich zwischen den Zahlenpaaren sowie mit großen statt kleinen kyrillischen Lettern.
Bei LKWs, Bussen, größeren Anhängern und ähnlichem musste außerdem der Inhalt des Kennzeichens am Fahrzeugheck mit Farbe in großen Lettern (die Größe war durch eine entsprechende Norm geregelt) aufgebracht werden, um die gute Lesbarkeit auch bei widrigen Verhältnissen zu gewährleisten. Für Fahrzeuge staatlicher Organisationen wurden unabhängig vom Ort der Zulassung besondere Kürzel verwendet. Fahrzeuge der Streitkräfte hatten schwarze Nummernschilder mit zwei Ziffernpaaren und zwei kyrillischen Buchstaben. Ausländer, die in der Sowjetunion lebten, besaßen ein gelbes Nummernschild. Es zeigte in schwarzer Farbe den Buchstaben H gefolgt von sechs Ziffern.
Diplomatenkennzeichen zeigten den lateinischen Buchstaben D und eine Ziffernkombination, wobei die ersten Stellen das Land kodierten.
Das Nationalitätszeichen der Sowjetunion lautete SU.

Nachfolgestaaten
Nach dem Zerfall der Sowjetunion 1991 wurde das System in vielen Nachfolgestaaten zunächst für einige Zeit beibehalten. Nach und nach wurden aber in allen Staaten neue mehr oder weniger abweichende Kennzeichensysteme eingeführt, die in der Regel keine kyrillischen Buchstaben mehr beinhalten. Besonders in der Farbgebung der verschiedenen Systeme lassen sich Parallelen erkennen. So werden gelbe Kennzeichen meist an Ausländer, rote an Diplomaten vergeben. Die Streitkräfte nutzen in der Regel schwarze Nummernschilder. Neben den Systemen der 15 Nachfolgestaaten führen weitere teils autonome Gebiete eigene Kennzeichen.

Kirovograd Ukraine is a wonderful, charming little town of 270,000 in the center of Ukraine. It is about 5 hours by car south-east of Kiev, the capital of Ukraine.
The town is quiet and you can literally sit in the main street the traffic is so slow. There are several very inexpensive restaurants that you can eat very well for about $10.00 per person. The local people are quite friendly but there are not many foreigners in Kirovograd and you will be very exotic
Walking around Kirovograd you will see statues of Lenin, statues of Kiro the soviet hero, and many many buildings with communist hammer and cycle emblem. Kirovograd is one of the few cities in Ukraine that retains it former Soviet sites.
All in all, you will find Kirovograd a friendly and welcoming city and will be able to enjoy yourself with little expense.Kfz-Kennzeichen der Ukraine von 1995 bis 2004

Former USSR heavy tractor license plate from Cherkassy Oblast (province) in the former Ukrainian SSR. 1980 series. This plate was used in the district of Korsun-Shevchenkivskyi a region which is in the Cherkassy Oblast. Soviet tractor plates were a little shorter than truck tractor (semi) plates and the cut corners were at a steeper angle than truck tractor plates. I could not find the code letters for this plate but it just arrived from Cherkassy Oblast in the above mentioned district in the Ukraine where it was used there. Smaller agricultural tractors were issued motorcycle sized black on yellow rectangular in Soviet days. See this set for more USSR plate pics.

This plate from Rovno in the Ukrainian SSR of official registration may have been used by that official to travel outside the Soviet Union. This is so because vehicles of Soviet origin travelling outside the country used letters on their plates common to both the western and cyrillic alphabet. Rovno is situated very close to where Poland, Belarus and the Ukraine meet. Rovno which once had a high Jewish population was mostly wiped out in WW II. The city is known for its WW II museums.

This Soviet semi trailer plate from Irkutsk Oblast (region) which to me is one of the most interesting places in the world. Irkutsk is in Russia's Siberia and a city of about one million close to Lake Baikal. What makes this area so interesting is Lake Baikal. Part of the lake is in Irkutsk oblast as is the city.
Lake Baikal is the largest lake in the world, not in area but in water volume as it contains one fifth of the worlds fresh water or more water than all five Great Lakes combined. Lake Biakal has many species of wildlife not found anywhere else in the world and also the home to the only distinct species of fresh water sea lions. There are 1,700 species of plants and animals in the region two thirds are unique to the region.
Lake Baikal is the deepest lake in the world, 1637 meters deep at it's deepest and containing 23,600 cubic kilometers (5662.4 cubic miles) of water, enough water to fill a 1km deep by 1km wide trrench of water more than half way around the world at the equator.
Lake Baikal is also the oldest lake in the world at an age of 25 to 30 million years. The lake is in a continental rift region where the earths crust is pulling away at 2 centimeters per year creating the largest continental rift on the planet. Below the lake's floor is a layer of sediment going down 7 kilometers(4.3 miles) to the bottom of the rift making the rift floor at a depth of 9 kilometers (5 miles).
Lake Baikal's largest island Olkhon Island is the fourth largest island on a continental lake in the world.
This license plate from the Lake Baikal region just arrived to my collection a few hours before posting. Of all the plates in my USSR collection I have being trying to get one from the region for years.License plates of Ukraine

Many towns and cities issued velociped plates at a local level but on a federal level there were difficulties in enforcing velociped registrations so the practise was abandoned after a short time.Autor/Urheber: Jerry "Woody" from Edmonton, Canada, Lizenz: CC BY-SA 2.0

A passenger plate from the BYELORUSSIAN SSR issued circa 1980 and issued through independence from the USSR. The circle you see between the "4" and the second "1" is the remains of a Belarus seal that was scratched off before the plate was shipped to me. Belarus shortly after 1991 began to issue its own plates.
Minsk known as the Hero City for the agressive partisan activites against the Nazi's in World War !!
After World War!! Minsk became a heavily industrialized city producing trucks, tractors, motorcycles, bicycles, refrigerators, TVs, radios, watches and metal processing equipment. For its size Minsk was probably the most industrial city in the USSR post war period. Aslo Minsk is known for textiles, construction, food processing and industrial printing.Autor/Urheber: Jerry "Woody" from Edmonton, Canada, Lizenz: CC BY-SA 2.0
