The drivers should take a training course on traffic regulations. The examination will be conducted by boards of experts of the State motor licensing and inspection department of the Ukrainian People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs directly in military units, which are to provide full assistance in the fulfillment of the order.” Signed at the conclusion by Zhukov as general of the army, and countersigned by two other men, “Borisov” the army commissar, and “Tsurkayev,” the chief of staff of the Kiev Special Military Okrug.
