On December 27, 1932, in Moscow, Chairman of the Central Executive Committee of the USSR M. I. Kalinin, Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR V. M. Molotov and Secretary of the Central Executive Committee of the USSR A. S. Yenukidze signed Resolution No. registration of passports ".

In all passported areas, the passport becomes the only document "proving the identity of the owner". In clause 10 it was prescribed: to produce passport books and forms according to a model common for the entire USSR. To print the text of passport books and forms for citizens of various union and autonomous republics in two languages; in Russian and in the language commonly used in the given union or autonomous republic.

In the passports of the 1932 model, the following information was indicated: name, patronymic, surname, time and place of birth, nationality, social status, permanent residence and place of work, compulsory military service ... and documents on the basis of which the passport was issued.

Simultaneously with the decree of the Central Executive Committee and the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR (On the Establishment of a Unified Passport System for the Union of SSR and the Mandatory Registration of Passports), on December 27, 1932, a decree was issued "On the formation of the Main Directorate of Workers 'and Peasants' Militia under the OGPU of the USSR." This body was created for the general management of the work of the management of the workers 'and peasants' militia of the union republics, as well as for the introduction of a unified passport system throughout the Soviet Union, registration of passports and for direct management of this matter.

In the regional and city departments of the RKM, passport departments were formed, and in the police departments - passport offices. The reorganization of address and information bureaus was also carried out.

Responsibility for the implementation of the passport system and for the state of passport work was borne by the heads of city and district police departments. They organized this work and directed it through the passport apparatus (departments, desks) of the subordinate police bodies.

The functions of the police for the implementation of the passport system were:

issuance, exchange and withdrawal (acceptance) of passports;
registration and discharge;
issuance of passes and permits to citizens to enter 1 border zone;
organization of address and reference work (address search);
implementation of administrative supervision over the observance by citizens and officials of the rules of the passport regime;
carrying out mass explanatory work among the population;
identification in the course of passport work of persons hiding from the bodies of Soviet power ...

The implementation of these functions was the essence of the organization of passport work.

The general management of the work of the management of the RKM of the Union republics, including the implementation of the passport system, was entrusted to the GU RKM at the OGTU of the USSR. It was assigned:

a) operational management of all republican and local police departments allocated for certification;

b) the appointment, displacement of the entire leadership of the passport apparatus of the police;

c) issuance of instructions and orders binding on all republican and local police bodies on issues related to the passport system and registration of passports.

Under the district and city councils, special commissions were created to oversee the observance of the rule of law when issuing passports, which considered complaints from citizens about the wrong actions of officials. It should be noted that the direct reason for the maintenance and tightening of the requirements of the passport system in the USSR was a sharp jump in criminal crime, especially in large cities. This happened as a result of rapid industrialization in cities and collectivization in agriculture, lack of food and industrial goods.

The introduction of the passport system has sharply raised the issue of strengthening the passport departments with sufficiently qualified personnel.

Graduates of educational institutions of the NKVD system of the USSR and other educational institutions were sent to work in the passport departments of the police, activists of enterprises and institutions were mobilized.

Introduced in 1932, the unified passport system was changed and improved in subsequent years in the interests of strengthening the state and improving services for the population.

A notable stage in the history of the formation and activities of the passport and visa service was the decree of the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR of October 4, 1935 "On the transfer of foreign departments and tables to the jurisdiction of the NKVD and its local bodies. executive committees", Which until that time were subordinate to the organs of the OGPU.

On the basis of the Decree of the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR of October 4, 1935, departments, divisions and groups of visas and registration of foreigners (OViR) were created in the Main Directorate of Militia, police departments of republics, territories and regions.

These structures operated independently during the 30s and 40s. Subsequently, they were repeatedly combined with the passport apparatuses of the militia bodies into single structural divisions and separated from them.

To improve the identification of a citizen of the USSR, from October 1937, a photographic card began to be pasted into passports, the second copy of which was kept by the police at the place of issue of the document.

In order to avoid forgeries, GUM introduced special ink for filling out passports and specials. sealant for seals, stamps for attaching photographs.

In addition, it periodically sent out operational and methodological guidelines to all police stations on how to recognize forged documents.

In those cases when, when obtaining passports, birth certificates from other regions and republics were presented, the police were obliged to first request the points of issuance of certificates so that the latter would confirm the authenticity of the documents.

Since August 8, 1936, in the passports of former prisoners "disenfranchised" and "defectors" (who crossed the border of the USSR "unauthorized"), the following note was made: "Issued on the basis of clause 11 of the Resolution of the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR No. 861 of April 28, 1933".

By a decree of the Central Executive Committee and the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR of June 27, 1936, as one of the measures to combat frivolous attitudes towards family and family responsibilities, it was established that at marriage and divorce, a corresponding mark was made in passports by the registry office.

By 1937, the passportization of the population was determined, the government in the localities was completed everywhere, 'the passport apparatuses completed the tasks that were entrusted to them.

In December 1936, the passport department of the Main Directorate of the RKM of the NKVD of the USSR was transferred to the department of external service. In July 1937, local passport offices also became part of the departments and divisions of the workers 'and peasants' militia departments. Their employees were responsible for maintaining the passport regime on a day-to-day basis.

At the end of the 30s, significant changes were made to the passport system. The administrative and criminal liability for violation of the rules of the passport regime was tightened.

On September 1, 1939, the Supreme Soviet of the USSR adopted the Law "On General Military Duty", and on June 5, 1940, by order of the People's Commissar of Defense of the USSR, guidelines were announced that determined the tasks of the police in the field of military registration ...

In the military registration desks of militia departments (in rural areas and settlements in the corresponding executive committees of the Soviets), the primary registration of all conscripts and conscripts, personal (quality) registration of the rank and file and junior commanding staff of the reserve was kept.

The military registration desks carried out their work in close contact with the regional military commissariats. This work continued until the beginning of the Great Patriotic War (June 22, 1941).

Certain norms of the passport system of 1932, due to the internal and international situation that had developed by 1940, needed clarification and addition.

This problem was largely solved by the resolution of the Council of People's Commissars of September 10, 1940, which approved the new Regulation on passports. This normative act has significantly expanded the scope of the Passport Regulation, extending it to border zones, employees and workers of a number of sectors of the national economy.

The Great Patriotic War (1941-1945) required additional efforts from the Soviet militia to maintain the passport regime in the country.

The circular of the NKVD of the USSR No. 171 of July 17, 1941 ordered the People's Commissars of Internal Affairs of the republics and the heads of the NKVD Directorates of the territories and regions the following procedure for documenting citizens arriving without passports to the rear in connection with military events: in case of loss of all documents, conduct a thorough interrogation and recheck everything indications. After that, issue a certificate with personal data (from words).

This certificate could not serve as an identity card for the owner, but made it easier for him to temporarily register and get a job.

This circular was only canceled in 1949.

From the first days of the war, the entire activity of the militia, its services and subdivisions has significantly changed and expanded and was adapted to wartime conditions.

One of the important means of strengthening the Soviet rear, guarding public order and the fight against crime was the passport system.

So, on August 9, 1941, by a decree of the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR, the Regulation on the registration of citizens evacuated from the front line was approved. All evacuees who arrived at the place of resettlement, both in an organized and individual manner, were required to register their passports with the police within 24 hours.

Considering that, together with the evacuated population, criminal elements rushed into the interior of the country and tried to hide from the authorities, the NKVD of the USSR in September 1941 established a mandatory personal appearance in the police for citizens to obtain a residence permit.

The expansion of the tasks of the passport apparatus during the war gave rise to new organizational forms for their implementation.

By order of the NKVD of the USSR of June 5, 1942, the positions of expert inspectors were introduced into the staff of passport departments of police departments, who were entrusted with:

a) research and giving opinions on the revealed facts of forgeries of passports received from the police;

b) checking the passports of persons admitted to especially important state documents, as well as to work at enterprises and institutions of defense significance;

c) checking the storage of passport blanks in the police, etc.

During the war years, the problem of finding children who had lost contact with their parents became extremely important. On January 23, 1942, the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR adopted a resolution "On the arrangement of children without parents." In accordance with this decree, the Central Children's Address Desk and the corresponding subdivisions in the field were formed at the GUM NKVD of the USSR. The central reference children's address desk was located in the city of Bugu-Ruslan in the Chkalovsk (now Orenburg) region.

Initially, children's address tables were part of the departments and services of combat training of the police, and in 1944, by order of the NKVD of the USSR, they were transferred to passport offices.

By June 1, 1942, 41,107 applications for the search for children had been sent to the address children's desks of the country, while the whereabouts of 13,414 children, or 32.6% of the total number of those wanted, were established.

In total, during the war years, more than twenty thousand children were found.

Much work was done to establish the place of residence of the evacuees.

In March 1942, the Central Information Bureau was created at the passport department of the GUM NKVD of the USSR.

Similar bureaus were created at the passport departments of the police departments of the republics, territories and regions.

Every day, the Central Information Bureau received 10-11 thousand applications to establish the place of residence of the evacuees. The employees of this bureau have identified over two million wanted persons.

Using materials for registration of passports (filled in address sheets), cluster address bureaus of cities also helped the population of the country to establish the place of residence of their relatives and friends.

In the postwar years, passport work was carried out on a large scale. The employees of the passport machines established the registration of the population of cities and workers' settlements, issued to the returning citizens a large number of various kinds of certificates and answers to inquiries about the missing or lost contact with relatives.

The legal basis for the registration of the post-war population was the Decree of the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR of October 4, 1945 "On the passportisation of the population." It had the purpose of determining its total number throughout the country, establishing the ratio of the rural and urban population ...

Reliable data on the size, composition and distribution of the population served as the basis for public administration, planning for economic and social development.

In 1952, a passport and registration department (PRO) was organized, its structure and staffs were approved. And on October 21, 1953, a new Regulation on passports was approved by the Resolution of the Council of Ministers of the USSR.

The regulation established a single sample of a passport for the USSR with the text in Russian and the language of the corresponding union or autonomous republic.

Instead of previously issued, in most cases, five-year passports, unlimited, ten-year, five-year and short-term passports were established.

In 1955, the Regulation on the Passport and Registration Department was put into effect. This department was entrusted with the following functions:

a) organization and management of all activities related to the implementation of the passport system;

b) issuance and exchange of passports;

c) registration and discharge of the population;

d) conducting address and reference work;

e) identification of criminals wanted by operational and judicial investigative bodies;

f) identification and removal from areas with a special passport regime of persons subject to passport restrictions;

g) issuance of permits to citizens to enter the restricted border zone;

i) registration of acts of civil status (births, deaths, marriages, divorces, adoption, etc.).

The Passport and Registration Department, in addition, provided practical assistance to the passport offices in the field, sending its employees there, developed and presented to the GUM management draft orders and other guiding documents for the implementation of the passport system and registration of acts of civil status; provided the police with blank passports, certificates of registration of acts of civil status, passes, etc .; kept a record of the wanted and took action on the applications and complaints of citizens coming to the department; solved personnel issues.

In order to activate address and reference work, to raise its level, instead of cluster address bureaus, in most police departments, unified republican, regional, regional address bureaus were created.

On July 19, 1959, the Council of Ministers approved the Regulations for Entry into the USSR and Exit Abroad. This Regulation was supplemented by a list of persons to whom diplomatic and service passports were issued, and entry and exit were also allowed not only with foreign passports, but also with their substitute documents (certificates and internal passports).

In the subsequent period, for foreign trips to friendly countries on official and private matters, special certificates were introduced (series "AB" and "NZh"), visa-free trips were made using internal passports of the USSR with a special insert.

In 1959, the Central Committee of the CPSU and the Council of Ministers of the USSR adopted a Resolution "On the participation of workers in the maintenance of public order in the country." At this time, in our country, the tasks of strengthening organizational and ideological work among the population to strengthen socialist legality and law and order, prevention and suppression, and suppression of crimes and violations of public order came to the fore in our country.

After the adoption of the Resolution, specialized groups and freelancers appeared to maintain the passport regime in large settlements and cities of the USSR. Household, street and quarter committees and the asset they unite, which, as a rule, included housekeepers of the given territory, provided great assistance to the passport offices.

An important step aimed at improving the activities of the militia was the approval of the Council of Ministers of the USSR on August 17, 1962, the new Statute on the Soviet Militia.

The Regulations enshrined the principles of the Soviet passport system, defined specific tasks for its implementation.

The decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR dated April 8, 1968 "On the basic rights and obligations of rural and settlement Soviets of workers' deputies" (announced by Order of the USSR Ministry of Internal Affairs No. 1258-196Eg) introduced new rules for registration and discharge of citizens in rural areas.

The internal affairs bodies retained the function of registration in regional centers and villages in those localities where there are full-time employees of passport machines, as well as in settlements assigned to the border zone.

On September 22, 1970, the Council of Ministers of the USSR approved a new Regulation on entry into the USSR and exit from the USSR, to which significant changes and additions were made.

For the first time in the country's legislative practice, the grounds for refusing citizens to issue a permit to travel abroad on private matters were determined.

In August 1974, the Central Committee of the CPSU and the Council of Ministers of the USSR considered the issue “On measures to further improve the passport system in the USSR”, and on August 28, 1974, the Council of Ministers of the USSR approved a new Regulation “On the passport system in the USSR”.

This Regulation established a uniform procedure for the entire population of the country, providing for the obligation to have a passport for all citizens of the USSR who have reached the age of sixteen, regardless of their place of residence (city or village).

The introduction of universal passportization has become the main duty of employees of all passport offices.

The validity of the new passport was not limited to any period. In order to take into account the external changes in the facial features of the passport holder associated with age, three photographs are sequentially inserted:

The first - upon receipt of a passport who has reached the age of 16;
The second - upon reaching the age of 25;
The third - upon reaching the age of 45.

The new passport has reduced the number of columns containing information about the identity of a citizen and mandatory marks.

Information about the social status is generally excluded from the passport, since in the process of life the social status is constantly changing.

Information about employment and dismissal is not recorded in the passport, since there is a work book.

The new Regulation was put into effect (with the exception of the issuance of the passports themselves) from July 1, 1975.

Within six years (until December 31, 1981), it was necessary to replace and issue passports to millions of urban and rural residents.

The internal affairs bodies carried out a large complex of organizational and practical measures for the modern certification of the population.

In the 70s and 80s, the participation of the USSR in the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe (SBE - OSCE) and the process of rebuilding that had begun, had a significant impact on the formation and active passport and visa service.

After the signing of the Final Act of the CSCE in Helsinki in 1975, the service implemented a stoppage of the Council of Ministers, obliging the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the USSR to liberalize the practice of considering citizens' applications for leaving and entering.

Previously, our legal acts and instructions governing the work of the passport service were drawn up for decades without taking into account international obligations.For the nineties, our country has been bringing its national legislation in full compliance with international obligations ...

Taking into account the results of the Vienna meeting of the CSCE in 1986-1989. further changes were made in the legislation and the liberalization of the rules concerning the procedure for leaving and entering, the rules for the stay of foreign citizens. In particular, the current regulation on entry into the USSR and exit from the USSR was supplemented by an open section on the procedure for considering applications for leaving the USSR and entering the USSR on private matters. Since 1987, all existing restrictions on leaving the country to all countries of the world, including for permanent residence, have been practically canceled, with the exception of cases related to the security of the state.

The Vienna Concluding Document (January 19, 1989) speaks in detail (in contrast to the 1975 Helsinki Final Act) about civil and political rights, including religious freedoms, freedom of movement, the right to defense in court, etc. (The final document of the Vienna meeting of representatives of the states participating in the conference on security and cooperation in Europe. M., 1989, pp. 12-15).

The most difficult problem for Russia is to implement the free movement of citizens and the choice of place of residence. Currently, in many countries, there are no restrictions on this right. In exceptional cases, they can only be established by law.

In the USSR, since 1925, there was a registration procedure, which is not found in other countries.

However, it is not easy to abandon it, because it is a social problem that is tightly intertwined with economic problems. At the same time, its solution is of great political importance.

In the process of building a rule-of-law state, the task of creating guarantees of legal and social protection of a person was sharply identified.

On September 5, 1991, at the Congress of People's Deputies of the USSR, the Declaration of Human Rights and Freedoms was adopted. Article 21 of the Declaration reads: “Everyone has the right to free movement within the country, to choose a place of residence and place of stay. Restrictions on this right can only be established by law. "

On December 22, 1991, the Resolution of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR approved the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen, where Article 12 enshrines the rights of citizens to free movement and choice of residence.

These rights are reflected in the Law Russian Federation of June 25, 1993 "On the right of citizens of the Russian Federation to freedom of movement, choice of place of stay and residence within the Russian Federation."

The Constitution of the Russian Federation (adopted by popular vote on December 12, 1993) in article 27 says: everyone who is legally on the territory of the Russian Federation has the right to move freely, choose a place of stay and residence.

Everyone can freely travel outside the Russian Federation. A citizen of the Russian Federation can freely return to the Russian Federation.

With the adoption in 1991 of the Law of the Russian Federation "On Citizenship of the Russian Federation", the passport and visa service was also entrusted with responsibilities for resolving issues of citizenship.

According to the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of February 15, 1993 No. 124, the departments (departments) of visas, registration and passport work, as well as passport departments (passport offices) and departments (groups) of visas and police registration were reorganized into the passport and visa service of the internal affairs bodies Of the Russian Federation, both in the center and in the field.

The UPVS (OPVS) and their subdivisions are entrusted with the functions of issuing passports, permits to enter the border zone, registering citizens, address reference work, registering foreign citizens and stateless persons (staying in Russia), issuing them documents for the right to reside ; execution of documents and permits to enter the Russian Federation and travel abroad, the implementation of legislation on issues of citizenship.

The Passport and Visa Service, using its capabilities, takes an active part in the fight against crime, ensuring law and order and preventing offenses.

In addition, in the part related to its competence, it implements legislative acts in the field of ensuring human rights and freedoms.

In order to create the necessary conditions for ensuring the constitutional rights and freedoms of citizens of the Russian Federation, pending the adoption of the corresponding federal law on the main document proving the identity of a citizen of the Russian Federation, Presidential Decree No. 232 of March 13, 1997 introduced a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation. In pursuance of this Decree, the Government of the Russian Federation on July 8, 1997 (No. 828) approved the Regulation on the passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation, a sample form and a description of the passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation. In the same Government Decree, the Ministry of Internal Affairs was ordered:

b) issue passports as a matter of priority to citizens who have reached the age of 14-16, military personnel, as well as other citizens in cases determined by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation;

c) to carry out, by December 31, 2003, a phased replacement of a passport of a citizen of the USSR with a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation.

A large range of organizational and practical measures are currently being taken in the internal affairs bodies to implement the Presidential Decree of March 13, 1997 and the Government Decree of July 8, 1997.

By order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia dated October 7, 2003 No. 776, the Passport and Visa Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia was reorganized into the Main Passport and Visa Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, and the Passport and Visa Information Center into the Center for Passport and Visa Information Resources of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, the Center for Citizens' Appeals on Passport and Visa Issues Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia and the Center for issuing invitations to foreign citizens of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia.

In accordance with clause 13 of the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of 09.03.2004 No. 314, the FMS of Russia was formed, which was transferred to law enforcement functions, functions of control and supervision and functions of providing state services in the field of migration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia

The question of replacing the USSR passport with the passport of a citizen of Russia is, first of all, a question of determining the citizenship of the holder of the USSR passport. If such an owner is a citizen of the Russian Federation, then changing the passport is relatively simple. In order to determine whether the holder of a USSR passport is a citizen of Russia, it is necessary to refer to the legislation on citizenship, which entered into force immediately after the collapse of the USSR. The 1991 Law "On Citizenship of the Russian Federation" contains a rule according to which all citizens of the former USSR who have a place of residence in the Russian Federation at the time of entry into force of the law are recognized as citizens of Russia. For many specialists, such a formulation is terrifying, it turns out that the connection between a person and the state arises simply by the fact of being on the territory of the country, a fact quite possibly accidental.

The moment this law comes into force is the day of its first official publication (February 6, 1992), and not the day the law was adopted by the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR (November 28, 1991).

An interesting problem is the determination of the place of residence of a citizen at the time of the entry into force of the Law "On Citizenship". In the case of a residence permit, of course, no problems should arise, however, in cases where a person, for some reason, did not have a residence permit at the place of residence on the day the law "On Citizenship" came into force, he may have certain difficulties with proving the fact of residence in the territory of the Russian Federation. The fact is that in the USSR there was virtually no right to freedom of movement and choice of place of residence. The place of residence was determined by the address indicated in the registration. However, the Constitutional Review Committee, in its opinion of October 11, 1991, canceled the permitting procedure for registration and pointed out that the establishment of the fact of residence should not be directly related to the presence of registration (registration). Thus, based on these regulatory enactments, it is possible to prove residence on the territory of the Russian Federation on the day of the entry into force of the law "On Citizenship" in any way not prohibited by law.

Today get Russian citizenship... thus, you can draw up a reasoned statement to the FMS.

In the same cases when Russian citizenship from the holder of the USSR passport cannot be obtained Russian passport, and, accordingly, Russian citizenship can be done in several ways:

• Obtain citizenship without a residence permit,... in this case, it is necessary to prove the fact of arrival on the territory of Russia before November 1, 2002.
• Apply for citizenship in a simplified manner, being a stateless person who previously was a citizen of the USSR. However, to obtain citizenship in this manner on the territory of the Russian Federation, you must first obtain a residence permit. Although it is possible on this basis to acquire Russian citizenship abroad, in the consular department of Russia, in this case it is also not necessary to issue a residence permit.

how to exchange a passport of the ussr for a russian one

How to change the passport of the ussr to russian

In the section on the question of how to change the USSR passport to the Russian one given by the author Ksenia shmak the best answer is the USSR Passport is not such a rarity today. Not everyone found the time to change it for a Russian passport. Perhaps you have already encountered various problems more than once: according to such a document, they will not sell plane or train tickets, they will refuse to open a bank account. And if the passport is expired, then its exchange becomes extremely necessary. You will need an application to replace the passport; - passport of a citizen of the USSR; - 2 photos; - certificate of registration at the place of residence - receipt of payment of the state fee. Instruction 1 To change the passport of the USSR for the passport of the Russian Federation, check if you permanently resided in Russia on February 6, 1992. If you have such facts (you were registered at that time in Russia, studied at an educational institution, worked in the territory of the Russian Federation, about which there is information in the work book, etc.), then you are a citizen of the Russian Federation and can apply for a passport exchange ... 2 In addition to the USSR passport itself, you need to bring 3 photographs (color or black and white does not matter). In the FMS at the place of registration or residence, write an application for a replacement passport. Pay the state fee at any bank. 3 If you have a family, bring a certificate of marriage (or divorce) and birth certificates of children. Those liable for military service must provide a military ID.

The USSR passport must be changed. None. The answer is Victoria Ivanovna Titova, Deputy Head of Department No. 1 of the Federal Migration Service of Russia for the Tyumen Region in the Leninsky Autonomous District of Tyumen (tel. 79-43-22). The step-by-step replacement of the passport of a citizen of the USSR, sample 1974, with a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation was completed on July 1, 2004. However, some citizens, for one reason or another, have not yet exchanged the USSR passport for the passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation. Why does a Russian citizen need a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation? (Valery Maksimov, Tyumen) - A passport of a Russian citizen is the main document proving the identity of a citizen of the Russian Federation on the territory of the Russian Federation. All citizens of the Russian Federation who have reached the age of 14 and live in its territory are required to have a passport. According to the decree of the President of the Russian Federation of March 13, 1997 No. 232 "On the main document proving the identity of a citizen of the Russian Federation on the territory of the Russian Federation", a passport of a citizen of the USSR, which certifies the identity of a citizen of the Russian Federation, is valid until it is replaced within the established time frame with a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation. Federation. A person who has not exchanged a passport runs the risk of remaining a citizen of the former USSR and will inevitably experience a variety of difficulties in the implementation of constitutional rights, freedoms and legitimate interests. A passport is required for most legal and civil transactions. In addition, parents who did not exchange their passports in a timely manner infringe on the rights of their minor children, who, due to their parents having invalid identity documents, are deprived of the opportunity to realize themselves as individuals - to establish their citizenship, which makes it difficult to obtain a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation upon reaching age; submit documents to an educational institution, issue a foreign passport and make other transactions that require an identity document. Is the passport of a citizen of the USSR, sample 1974, a document proving the identity of a citizen of the Russian Federation on the territory of Russia? (Pavel Kuraev, Tyumensky District) - В " The Encyclopedia of a Lawyer "states that" an identity card is an official document issued by an authorized body, certifying the identity of the bearer, his statute and rights. " In the Russian Federation, the only document proving the identity of a citizen is a passport. According to clause 3 of the decree of the President of the Russian Federation of 13.03.1997, No. 232, the passport of a citizen of the USSR of the 1974 model, which certifies the identity of a citizen of the Russian Federation, is recognized as valid until it is replaced within the prescribed time frame with a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation. However, the Regulations on the Passport System in the USSR, approved by Decree of the Council of Ministers of the USSR No. 667 dated 28.08.1974, states that the passports of citizens of the USSR who have reached the age of 25 and 45 and have not pasted the corresponding photographic cards are invalid.
