Hmmmmm. A lot of minor errors in there that look "Babelfischy." No letter "x" in Russian, for instance--Aleksei. Some awkward bits there ("lost" in all those award entries when it should be "by" etc) -- can you post the original Russian pages?

"76th division of convoy troops of Ministry of Internal Affairs"... "Division" here is not correct-- but what this refers to is PRISON (GULAG) transport. At what level is unclear from the incorrect English word. :speechless1:
