Such documents from the Soviets during the occupation of Germany are rare to find. Regular, let alone diplomatic passports from the USSR from WWII are almost impossible to find. Russia has declared such documents as “national cultural treasures”. As such, they can’t get out of the country. Some years ago, a Russian reader approached me with several diplomatic passports of an ambassador and family. Unfortunately, the communication ended after just a few emails. At least I got the pictures of these treasures. Document Soviet Occupation Berlin
