Basic Principles
The Soviet Union used four-level open numbering plan. The long distance prefix was 8.
- One can call a local number without the code. Local numbers usually consists of 5-7 digits, with seven-digit numbers were only occurs in Moscow (since 1968), Leningrad (since 1972) and Kiev (since late 1970s).
- Within the same numbering area (most often within the state or province) the type is: 8 2X YYYYYY, where 2 replaces the three-digit area code.
- For calls to other areas, first dial long distance prefix 8, then, after the tone - the full code of the numbering area, which consisted of a three-digit code and zone additional digit(X), and then local phone number.
- For example: 8 09624 XXXXX for a call to the city of Klin, Klinsky District, Moscow Oblast.
- For international calls, dial 8 10
. - For example: 8 10 1212 XXXXXXX for a call to the city of New York.

Famous quotes containing the words basic and/or principles:
“The basic idea which runs right through modern history and modern liberalism is that the public has got to be marginalized. The general public are viewed as no more than ignorant and meddlesome outsiders, a bewildered herd.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
“That, upon the whole, we may conclude that the Christian religion not only was at first attended with miracles, but even at this day cannot be believed by any reasonable person without one. Mere reason is insufficient to convince us of its veracity: And whoever is moved by Faith to assent to it, is conscious of a continued miracle in his own person, which subverts all the principles of his understanding, and gives him a determination to believe what is most contrary to custom and experience.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
