Region codes on license plates in 2022

Good afternoon, dear reader.

In this article we will talk about state registration plates (car license plates) . The numbers are assigned to the car during its registration with the traffic police and remain in place until one of the next owners decides to replace them, or the car’s registration is terminated.

Registration marks are unique, i.e. Two different cars cannot have the same number plates at the same time. The numbers always differ by at least one letter or number. Today we will look at the features and procedure for issuing license plates, as well as automobile region codes on the license plates.

The procedure for issuing license plates in Russia

Let's consider the most common type of numbers in the Russian Federation:

These are the numbers that are installed on most cars.

At first glance, the number consists of a random sequence of letters and numbers. In fact, not everything is so simple here.

All numbers from 0 to 9 are used on license plates. However, unlike numbers, not all letters of the Russian alphabet can appear on license plates. This privilege is given only to those letters that have similar spellings in the Latin alphabet. Those. Only the letters A, B, E, K, M, N, O, R, S, T, U, X can be used on license plates.

You might have learned about this fact before, but the next thought will probably seem interesting to you. We will talk about the order in which the numbers are issued .

Numbers are issued in order (except for special series). However, the order in which the characters change in the number is far from normal perception. The symbols change not from right to left, but in a slightly different way - in a rather confusing sequence.

1. Most often, the third digit in the license plate changes (in the figure it is number 6). After the number T356OK the number T357OK will be issued.

2. The second most frequently changing character is the 2nd digit (in Figure 5). After the number T359OK the number T360OK will be issued.

3. The third most common symbol is the 1st digit (in Figure 3). After the number T399OK the number T400OK will be issued.

The numbers seem to be okay, but the same cannot be said about the letters.

4. The fourth most common symbol is the 1st letter (T in the picture). After the number T999OK the number U001OK will be issued.

5. The fifth most common symbol is the 3rd letter (K ​​in the picture). After the number X999OK the number A001OM will be issued.

6. The sixth most common symbol is the 2nd letter (O in the picture). After the number X999OX the number A001PA will be issued.

The procedure is quite complicated, so if you didn’t understand it the first time, re-read points 1-6 again.

The symbols on the left side of the registration plate, which were discussed above, are responsible for vehicle numbers within a specific region. By the way, I inform statistics lovers that no more than 1 million 726 thousand 272 car registration plates can be issued with one region code.

After this limit is exhausted, the number of the Russian region written on the right side of the number changes. From this moment on, numbers begin to be issued again within the new region. Each subject of the Russian Federation has its own code, and some subjects of the federation, which have a very large number of cars, are assigned several region codes at the same time.

Story

The history of Kaluga is connected with the formation of the Moscow Principality. The city was founded in the mid-14th century under the Moscow prince Simeon Gord as a border fortress on the southwestern borders of the Moscow state. It was first mentioned in 1371 in a charter of the Lithuanian prince Olgerd. The Simeonovo settlement, where the fortress was originally located, occupied a peninsula on the Yachenka River, where, perhaps, the name of the city comes from - the popular word “kaluga” means “peninsula”. At the end of the 14th century, Kaluga became part of the Mozhaisk Principality. In the 14th-16th centuries, Kaluga was a fortress in the defense system of the Moscow principality along the Oka and Ugra rivers (“Belt of the Virgin”). In 1606-1607, Kaluga found itself in the thick of events of the uprising led by Ivan Bolotnikov. In 1708, Kaluga became part of the Moscow province. Since 1777 - the center of the Kaluga governorship (then the Kaluga province). The events of the Patriotic War of 1812 are connected with Kaluga. Near the village of Tarutino, Kaluga province, Russian troops led by M.I. Kutuzov were preparing to expel Napoleon from Russia. During the Great Patriotic War, Kaluga was occupied by the Germans from October to December 1941.

The architectural appearance of Kaluga is distinguished by the variety of styles of surviving buildings. Until the 1760s, wooden buildings predominated in Kaluga. The only known monument of civil architecture in Kaluga from the late 17th century is considered to be the house of the merchant Korobov (Korobov's chambers), which was distinguished by complex decorative treatment of the residential roof and a wooden gallery on stone pillars. Stone city churches from the late 17th to the first half of the 18th century demonstrate the stability of the architectural traditions of the mid-17th century. These include the Church of the Intercession on the Moat (1687), built next to the fortress, the complex cornice of which, supporting a number of decorative kokoshniks with a keeled finish, is characteristic of Russian architecture of the first half of the 17th century. The Church of St. George at the Top (1700-1701) is interesting for its decor and complex composition, as well as carved white stone portals of the entrances to the upper and lower church.

The historical center of the city is the Berezuisky ravine located on the left bank of the Oka, near which the Kaluga Kremlin, which burned down in 1700, was located. In 1780, the architect P.R. Nikitin built the Berezuisky Bridge on high, powerful arches (now with a cast-iron lattice from the 19th century). Near the bridge is the Makarov House, built in 1738 and retaining many features of its original appearance. The main decoration of this house is the light and two-tier porch-balcony.

In the 1780s, the construction of the main “state buildings” was carried out, among which the Government Offices (1778-1787), the Noble School (1779, now the Pedagogical Institute), the post office (1782), and Gostiny Dvor (1782-1796) stand out. Among the civil buildings, the estate of the merchant Zolotarev (1805-1808) stands out, decorated with cast-iron lace gates and lanterns symmetrically located at the entrance. Now it houses the Kaluga Regional Museum of Local Lore, one of the oldest in Russia. The interior decoration of the house was made at the beginning of the last century by the Moscow workshop of S. P. Campioni. Residential buildings in Kaluga, built in the 19th century, are mainly designed in the classicist style.

In the 1920s, the founder of heliobiology, A.L. Chizhevsky, worked in Kaluga. Theatrical and musical traditions of Kaluga continue their development in the Lunacharsky Drama Theater and in the regional philharmonic society. Kaluga became famous for its music and dance groups, such as the Male Academic Choir, the Molodost and Kalinka ensembles. The Kaluga Art Museum was created in 1918 on the basis of a collection of paintings by Kaluga doctor N. I. Vasiliev, which he donated to the city.

In the village of Romodanovo near Kaluga there is a five-domed Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary (1691). Close to the city limits is the Eropkin estate in Grabtsevo, built in the pseudo-Gothic style (late 18th - early 19th century, rebuilt at the end of the 19th century).
