Thanks for your input and comments. Difficult to know what to think about this absence of stamp...
Army General Nikolai A. Shchelokov was effectively USSR's Ministry of Interior (MVD).
In 1966, as one of Brezhnev's protégés, Nikolai A. Shchelokov, has been placed in the post of chief of the MOOP (Ministry for the Preservation of Public Order). Two years later, MOOP was renamed the MVD, an apparent symbol of its increased authority. Brezhnev's death, however, left the MVD vulnerable to his opponents, Andropov in particular. Just a month after Brezhnev died, Shchelokov was ousted as its chief and replaced by the former MVD chairman, Vitalii Fedorchuk. Shchelokov was later tried on corruption charges, and later "committed suicide."
That's all I found on him... if you have more...
Another ex of his signature (seems correct in all points).
Mystery still total...
