Talk:USSR (1861: Historical Failing)

Vehicle registration plates


You mean no more than 9999 cars may exist within Soviet Russia? And it does not make sense to provide a long 3-letter code for republic designation. When there are so few of them. In OTL, Soviet license plate system was based on second-level division, not on republic-level — each territorial entity (oblast, kray, autonomous republic etc.) had one or several 2-letter codes.

Anyway, the Russian name of the Russian SFSR was "Российская СФСР", so it should have been "РОС" not "РУС". The Soviet-time name for Kyrgyzstan was "Киргизия", so it should have been "КИР", not "КЫР". — Hellerick 05:29, November 3, 2012 (UTC)
