Soviet KGB Identity Books
These are two original Russian KGB Identity Books, also known as Red Books. These books were used to record detailed personal information on individuals of interest to the KGB, including biographical data, employment history, and political affiliations. The books feature red covers and contain multiple pages of handwritten and stamped information, providing a fascinating glimpse into the Soviet intelligence apparatus. Each book details the personal information of an individual, including their name, date of birth, place of birth, and social status.

These books are highly sought after by collectors of Cold War memorabilia, Soviet history enthusiasts, and those interested in intelligence gathering. They represent a rare and tangible piece of history, offering a unique insight into the workings of the KGB.
