The driving license of the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU Leonid Brezhnev was sold during the auction of the auction house "Literary Fund" for 1,550,000 rubles. Together with them came a warning ticket.
-
In the rights issued in 1976, all categories are open: Brezhnev could drive a motorcycle, a passenger car, a truck up to 3.5 tons, a bus and a car with a trailer. According to the specialists of the auction house, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Nikolai Shchelokov gave them to the secretary general as a joke.
- A warning coupon was used in the USSR to mark gross traffic violations. The traffic police inspectors put punctures in it and with a large number of "holes" the license was withdrawn. Of course, there are no punctures in Brezhnev's coupon.
- The documents are still in excellent condition - they were always kept at the government dacha and the secretary general never used them. They were laminated before being sold.
