JBFloyd Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 My Russian reading skills being very low, can someone transliterate the name in the following award booklet? So far, all I know is that he got two consecutively numbered Red Stars, a Red Banner and a Lenin by 1945.Thanks.
JBFloyd Posted March 19, 2006 Author Posted March 19, 2006 Many thanks for that, Dudeman. My eyes weren't getting anything close to "Egor".
Vatjan Posted March 19, 2006 Posted March 19, 2006 I've got some as well, I would like to have translitterated, if anyone would be so kindNumber 1
Guest Rick Research Posted March 19, 2006 Posted March 19, 2006 I'd say Yegor Kirillovich Sorokin up top, only because transcription would have made it that way at the time I learned Russian. That's the Ye as in Yeltsin, though I notice he is currently being spelled "Eltsin."So I'm a fossil.

Vatjan Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 Thanks for the help Rick, I really appreciate it Jan
