It's just the Cyrillic 2 letter prefix for the serial number. They switched from a numeric only serial to one prefixed with two letters in the mid-late 30's.

Around 1938 they changed from using just a numerical serial number to a alphanumeric number.
They didn't start at AA or 0001. They are completely random.
