    There is MUCH more, including the historically fascinating autobiographies, but I sense (and I share) a desire to get on to the bleeding citations.

    So . . . let me see what I can find . . . .

    Post #27 (while these typed entries are easy to translate, sooooo mannnnny. Native Russian speakers, please feel free. My own school Russian is not the best, hampered by genetic resistance and race memory of my "home town" being burned to the ground in the Great Northern War. :rolleyes: ) =

    Posted

    There is more (autobiographies, fitness reports, etc., etc.), which I'll be happy to post, even at the risk of exhausting jolly forum cooperation, but let me close with the image from his file.
