Measures 3 ¼" x 4 ¾", in red oilcloth-bound covers. The front cover shows the USSR State Emblem above the lettering which reads "Military ID, Ministry of Defense." Pilipenko's pink mobilization slip is glued to the inside of the back cover as required by the regulations. The entries show that Pavel Pilipenko was born in 1937 in a village in the Dnepropetrovsk (modern-day Dnipro) Region, Ukraine. He had seven years of formal schooling, was married and worked as a professional driver. At the age of 20 he was conscripted into the Red Army. After a month of boot camp and another month of, presumably, military drivers training, he was assigned as a motor vehicle driver of the Special Department (official title of the KGB forces in the Soviet Army) of the Odessa Military District. Having completed his three-year stint, he was discharged into reserve in September 1960.

Any "ordinary" enlisted man will have a destination in his discharge stamp, directing him to register in that location as a reservist. But, of course, a driver of the omnipotent KGB Special Department of a Military District was free to go wherever he wanted and register with the local military commissariat at his own convenience and leisure.

In excellent condition. The wear to the cover is minimal and attractive, just a little soiling as befits a document handled by a professional driver of Soviet automobiles. The ID photo is in sharp focus and free of any significant wear. All the printed, handwritten, and stamped entries are clear and perfectly legible.

Please note that the penny in our photo is for size reference.
