Can't read a distant angled dark plastic covered camera shot. You need a scanner. (an EPSON scanner)

All I can see is that it is some sort of school certificate from the city of Zhitomir.

And here is the rest of it........

[Guest Rick Research]

In the words of Professor Higgins: "... I think you've got it!!!" Whatever you did, keep doing THAT!

It is the report card attesting that one Stratonik Meoidiev Sharavsky, born in Levkovsky 13 January 1880 has completed courses as attested 13 September 1892 (so at age 12) by the Pedagogical Council of Zhitomir's Second Class City School.

I have trouble with the old Church Slavonic, since that was dumped for modern Russian soon after the Revolution and a number of characters were dropped and letters changed. I may be old, but I am not THAT old!!!!
