Book issued by Leninsky Local Veterans Commissariat, city of Kharkov.

He had a 7th class education, last in school 1930.

Joined the army 1 May 1935.

Final rank was Major of Technical Services, engineer technical. It does seem to only show far east 1945 wartime service.

Hi all,

A couple more additions this evening... fresh from my friend and our fellow member Vitaly Kudinov (okudinova on Ebay). The pics are also his and used with his permission. Many thanks across the board my friend!!!!

First off... a 25th Anniversary of Victory medal with award document. This one issued to Sergeant Kusch Ivan Semionovich. As my only other example of the medal doesn't have the award document this is definitely a nice addition to the collection.

And better still... a 1948 Soviet Army ID document to issued to Sergeant Shatilov Pavel Emelianovich on March 15, 1948. Best part is it lists his awards as: Combat Service medal # 1,941,100 on April 19, 1944 and Order of Red Star # 1,850,009 on April 4, 1945. So hoping I'll be able to get him researched and find out more about him and his awards. And having his pic where he's actually wearing one of his awards is a definite bonus in my eyes! Just wish I had the awards to go with it. Perhaps they'll turn up some day. But hoping at the very least there will be an interesting story behind it all.

I'll be happy to do better scans as soon as these arrive later this week to make them easier to read.

And number four... alas the only one of the four sets without a photo of the recipient:

SOVIET HONORARY DIPLOMA ID RUSSIAN DOCUMENT.

USSR ID That Was Used In Soviet Union.

ID Was awarded To Comrade (Mrs.) Olga Kirpichenko (Laureate Of Ukraine SSR State Prize).

It Is Very Rare Diploma That Says Olga`s Portrait Will Be Set On Main Ukraine Glory Avenue!!!!

As You Can See This DIPLOMA Established By Ukraine Presidium Of Ministers Of USSR & Soviet Working Union!!!!!!

I'm wondering if those portraits are still there. If so... if it might be possible to eventually get a photo of the one to match this document set. If any of our members are ever there and would be willing to check and perhaps get such a photo I'd be deeply grateful.
