Soviet Police Ethnic/Racial ID chart

[ladislav]

In the US, the police would write if a person is black/Hispanic/white etc. Do not think those categories universal, please, because here is an old Soviet chart which would help their cops to identify the ethnicity/nationality of the perp. I think, it was part of the training at their police academies.



Left to right top row: Russian, Ukrainian, Tatar, Jew, Gypsy, Kyrghiz
Left to right middle row: Belarus, Lithuanian, Georgian, Armenian,Kazakh, Uzbek
Left to right bottom row: Latvian, Estonian, Azeri, Moldovan, Tajik, Turkoman

As you can see, US categories are auspiciously missing especially, there is no category for White or Asian. Look at the Jewish category and how very precisely the Jewish facial type was captured. Amazing!

Here they are slightly jumbled up

I am now starting to really understand the point you have made more than once, about national/linguistic coherence versus Anglo-American stereotyping.

Seems like the image was removed.

They are back up. Please refer to the original post. So, as you can see, you have republics ( countries now) named, say something like ,Yugaria, populated by people who have Yugarian faces, Yugarian first, and last names and speaking the language of that republic ( now country). Such American concepts as " race" named by a color, or nationality given to you by birthplace are totally irrelevant and non existent.
