Dang, that's pretty sweet. I don't have a single plate from that republic. A lot of people don't, actually. This is western KZ on the Caspian sea -- I don't know what it takes to get a plate from eastern KZ.
Thanks! I don't remember where I got this one from but I would estimate it has been in my collection for 3 or 4 years. I have some very good friends who sometimes offer me some special Soviet plates (regions or formats), which is really important for me because I would not be able to collect the Soviet plates without their help!
