In booklet format measuring 3" x 4 ¼", in oilcloth bound hard cover. The front cover of this standard-issue CPSU member ID features the Bolshevik slogan of world domination "Proletarians of all lands, unite!" followed by "Communist Party of the Soviet Union" in large letters in the middle, and "Tseka (Central Committee) CPSU" at the bottom. The inside of the cover features a high-quality portrait of Lenin, with his facsimile signature under one more communist slogan which survived until the bitter end of the Soviet Union, "The Party is the Brain, Conscience, and Honor of our Era", a phrase used by Lenin in his article Political Blackmail, first published in September of 1917 in the newspaper The Proletarian.

Tatiana Paramonova, the young communist born in 1960, has membership dues paid only until June 1987, which raises questions but, considering that Gorbachev's perestroika had been weakening the communist party's stranglehold on the population at that time, perhaps she just quit the Party without suffering long-lasting and very negative consequences.

The ID is in outstanding, excellent condition, inside and out.
