Ed_Haynes Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 An interim question related to a much larger group (mainly documents, buy delightfully multi-generational -- three at least, I think), but what name is this? And what sort of name is this? Help!!!!!!!!!!(I showed it to my colleague who does Russian history and he was stumped! He, being an academic, had some guesses, but was essentially stumped.)More to come later, if anyone can tolerate another of my long posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyFCO Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Ed:It's Strod, Viktor Yevgenievich. Of course, I cheated and know the other documents in the group with the name written better. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferdinand Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Yes, you are right - it's the third naval NCO rank, equal to senior sergeant in the RKKA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Is that a Defense of Leningrad ribbon with NO Victory (military or Labor? ), then the 1957 Leningrad, 1948 Armed Forces, 1958 Armed Forces, and 10 Years military Service?FIRST time I have EVER seen the long service "wings" being worn with the M1958 long service medal, too.
