As a linguist and translator, there's one point I would like to mention though: next time consider using the services of an experienced translator that speaks English as well as Russian. Translating is an art; it is so much more than grabbing a dictionary and transferring words from one language to another. The sentences must sound fluently in English and connotations must be conveyed also. I'm just saying that translating is a vital and underrated last step in the research process.
Order of Glory class 3 to NKVD
