How to read the plate
A Russian plate reads left to right: one letter, three digits and two more letters — the series and number. A separate field on the right holds the two- or three-digit region code, with RUS and the flag below it. Only 12 Cyrillic letters that look like Latin ones are used: А, В, Е, К, М, Н, О, Р, С, Т, У, Х. Many regions have several codes: when one code runs out, a three-digit code with 1, 7, 2 and so on in front is issued — Moscow has eleven.

History
The current system dates from 1993: region codes 01–89 follow the order of federal subjects in the Constitution. Three-digit codes appeared in the late 1990s. Before 1993 the region was shown by letters at the end of the number (e.g. «МО» for Moscow) — such plates have almost vanished. Codes of abolished autonomous okrugs (80, 81, 82, 84, 85, 88) were later reassigned.
