Hi Guys, I don't really collect much paperwork as my Russian is so poor

But here is one item from my collection.


Maksim Stepanovich Gubar', born 1914, Ukrainian, Ukrainian and Russian speaker, workers class background, Komsomol since 1937.

NKVD rifles private with no specialities but rifles, yet called up October 1936 into NKVD 13th Cavalry Regiment, then transferred to NKVD Convoy units, 141st in October.

Released to 1st category of the reserves from Transfer Point No. 3 of Leninsky District Military Commissariat, 16 November 1940.

Interestly, he wears on Officers greatcoat (note it fastens up with buttons, as opposed to the other ranks version which closed with hooks and eyes.)

As a friend of mine once remarked after looking at the book, most likely "a very bad man".

Cheers, Ade.
