Participants of World War 2 - names and surnames. Obd memorial database of dead and missing

The Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945 is a terrible grief, the wounds from which are still bleeding. During those terrible years, the total loss of life in our country is estimated at approximately 25 million people, 11 million of whom were soldiers. Of these, approximately six million are “officially” considered dead.

In this case, it is believed that relatives know at least where their loved one died and was buried. All the rest are missing/captured and never returned. The statistics are scary. Not only have we lost so many soldiers, we also have no idea where half of them are! Be that as it may, the relatives of the dead and missing do not despair and continue to search. For which we praise them.

But how to find a dead soldier in the Second World War, especially if you don’t have any decent experience in this? In this article we have collected the most general recommendations that, nevertheless, can help you in this difficult matter. By the way, the found remains of German soldiers are identified in Germany using approximately the same algorithm. Of course, adjusted for more accurate and complete information from the archives.

Things to remember

Firstly, immediately tune in to hard and painstaking work. According to the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs, at least 40 thousand people went missing in Russia in 2004 alone! Just think about these numbers: in the age of digital technology, total tracking of train and plane tickets, people “manage” to disappear on a truly industrial scale. Many of them are never found.

Now think about how difficult it can be to find a person who disappeared in the midst of hostilities (especially in the initial period of the war). So don’t despair after experiencing the first difficulties.

Where to start

You must clearly know your first name, last name and patronymic. Since finding a dead soldier in WWII can be very difficult, you should remember this data especially clearly. Try to remember: did the person have a habit of somehow changing his first or last name? It happens that because of this, the soldier could not be found for several decades, until, quite by accident, they remembered that Elisha called himself Alexei, Prokofy in the hands of the clerk turned into Peter...

If a person’s last name could be perceived incorrectly by ear, look among all the more or less suitable options. So, Perevozchikov may well be Perevoshchikov. In short, finding a WWII soldier can be very difficult.

Other initial information

In addition, you need to know where and when the person was called. As a rule, this data is relatively easy to find. If there are at least some letters, postcards, official documents from those years that mentioned the unit in which the soldier fought, collect them all. Place it on the map, trace the route of the military unit, check with official sources. This is how you can find a WWII soldier with only the most general information.

Of course, it can be difficult to say when a person died from whom letters stopped coming: it is quite possible that the postal service simply malfunctioned, and the soldier was alive for several more months, during which time the unit managed to travel many hundreds of kilometers. But in a number of cases such a search yields results.

Pay special attention to the fact of severe injuries. It is known that many people died from their wounds. As a rule, they were buried in sanitary burials in the immediate vicinity of the hospital. Sometimes documents about the fact of burial were preserved, and sometimes not. Simply put, if the last letter from a soldier came from the hospital when the person wrote about his injury, it is quite possible that he died there.

Alas, in this case you will have to be disappointed: it is very difficult to look for such burial places. You will have to rummage through the archives and track the route of a specific one. Firstly, this is very long and difficult. Secondly, there are few guarantees for success. And further. Most often, soldiers were buried en masse in sanitary burials, often in their underwear. No medallions, no marks on the map... So often you can only count on a more or less exact burial place.

Type of army

Oddly enough, this information is often given the very last importance. Attention! Before you find a dead soldier in the Second World War, find out as accurately as possible which troops he served in: information about the dead is stored in different archives. Let's summarize. At first, you need to find out the most basic information: full name, date and place of conscription, number of the unit in which the soldier served, as well as at least the approximate date of his death.

Searching on the Internet

Recently, this direction has gained great popularity, but you shouldn’t rely too much on it: there is no general database, various sources draw information from archives, etc. However, it’s still worth a try. If you haven’t found any data, don’t rush to despair: contact the resource owners and describe your problem. In the case when they work directly with documents, specialists may well know some nuances, or give useful advice, even helping in your search.

So (theoretically) you can find a WWII soldier by last name. Of course, there is a greater chance of success if the surname was quite original. Otherwise, you will have to sort through hundreds of options.

Also, don’t forget to visit genealogy websites and archive resources. Send inquiries to the Ministry of Defense: it is quite possible that there is at least some information about where and when the serviceman served before his death or disappearance. And further. No one is responsible for the accuracy of the information on such sites. There is no guarantee that the information will be correct.

By the way. Before you find a dead soldier in WWII, try to find out at least something about his colleagues. It often happens that people who died on the same day are buried in the same place. Moreover, information about some of them reached their relatives, while other relatives remained in complete ignorance about the fate of their relative.

Try to find like-minded people who are also searching for their loved ones who fought in those places or the same unit. Together, it will be more convenient for you to coordinate your efforts: someone can search on the Internet, while the rest will work on the archives.

Books of memory

Almost every local history museum has information about soldiers who were drafted and died. In places along which the front line passed, in these documents you can often find a list of names of soldiers who died and were buried here. Also pay attention to the monuments: they also have granite steles on which are carved the names and surnames of those soldiers who died during the liberation of a particular locality.

Paradoxically, this information often turns out to be much more detailed than information from completely official sources. Remember that almost every more or less large city has a Book of Memory. Contact people on citywide forums: if one of them has access to this document, he may well check whether it contains information about your desired relative. This is how you can find a WWII soldier by last name.

Requests to the archives

For some reason, it is believed that all information about the dead is stored only in the Central Archive of the Ministry of Defense, but this is not so. If your relative served in the navy, naval aviation or some coastal services, then information about him should be looked for in the Navy archive located in the city of Gatchina.

The most difficult thing happens in cases where a person was a member of the military of various parts of the NKVD. Their archive is located in Moscow, in the State Military Archive. But some of the information on employees of the NKVD and SMERSH is still classified, so the likelihood of such information being released is very low. In any case, it is simply impossible to find the grave of a WWII soldier from special units.

What makes the search extremely difficult is the fact that relatives did not always know about the real specifics of service in such units. Often, according to documents, they served in ordinary infantry units, but they themselves fought in a completely different area.

To obtain information about a soldier from these archives, you need to write (it is highly advisable to print) a letter indicating brief information about the soldier, his name, patronymic, rank... In a word, all the basic information. A clean envelope and stamps must be included with the letter, as this will significantly speed up the receipt of a response message.

If you do not know the military rank of the missing person at all, or you have reason to believe that he could have been awarded the rank of officer, write as follows6 “Please also check the information on departments 6, 9 and 11.” The fact is that these sections of the archive store information on all military ranks and ranks. We warn you right away that the funding for this institution is very meager, and therefore it is quite possible to wait up to six months or longer for an answer from it.

Simply put, if possible, it is best to visit the archive in person and ask all your questions there. Of course, it is unlikely that you will be able to find a soldier by last name (if you have no other data), but if you have more information, the chance of success is quite high.

Analysis of archive request results

It should be understood that even in war conditions, losses were actually recorded in sufficient detail and this information was sent for storage. Each unit regularly reported to the Central Headquarters on irretrievable losses, and the reports indicated lists of names, rank, date and place of death, information about relatives and burial place.

If a serviceman is classified as missing, it means that he was absent from the unit for some time, and his search, which (theoretically) should have taken 15 days, did not yield any results. There were a lot of missing people in the initial period of the war. This is due to the fact that at that time many units were completely destroyed, all their documents were lost or deliberately destroyed by the command during the retreat.

Note that in this case it is almost impossible to find a missing soldier. All that remains is to search through regional and local memory books.

Important! It often happened that a man who was wounded and lagged behind his unit, after lying in the hospital, fought in another unit. At this time, the funeral service arrived from the first. It often happened that there were no survivors, the person actually “disappeared.” Try searching again throughout the CIS. Often relatives are found by soldiers who “died” a long time ago.

The man was demobilized, realized that he had nowhere to go, and therefore stayed in the place he liked. Relatively recently, one family found their grandfather, who was considered dead a long time ago (two funerals), but since 1946 he had been living quietly in Estonia. So it wouldn’t hurt to contact the local authorities of Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, the Czech Republic, etc. In general, finding a Soviet soldier who died on the territory of these countries can be very difficult.

Answer options from the archive

Thus, four possible answers may come from the archive in response to your request:

The most desirable option is when information comes about the fighter’s full name, his rank, unit, date and place of death, and place of burial.

A message indicating the military unit, as well as the date and place of the disappearance.

You may receive a response indicating the supposed location of the loss (the first months of the war) and the supposed number of the military unit, which was often obtained from close relatives based on the results of their survey (the unit number was on the postmarks from the last letter, if there was one).

A message about the complete absence of data on a serviceman in the file of irretrievable losses. As we have already said, this is due to the death of a soldier in the first months of the war, when reports from the unit were simply not sent due to its complete death.

If you received the first two answers, then consider yourself lucky: from now on, you can arm yourself with maps and look for the resting place of your ancestor (at least supposedly). This is how you can find the burial place of a WWII soldier.

Other cases

These include death in a hospital (which we have already mentioned), death in German captivity, or the probable release of a fighter from it with subsequent inspection by NKVD officers.

If you have an assumption that a soldier died from his wounds in a hospital, you need to send a request to the Military Medical Museum (more precisely, its archive). If the last letter contains information about an injury (written by a friend, for example), but there is no information about treatment, you will have to arm yourself with reference books and maps and find out which specific military field hospitals operated in those places.

In the event that you expect the capture of a serviceman, you should also send a request to the central archive of the Ministry of Defense: at the moment, a little more than 300 thousand cards of soldiers who died in German captivity are stored there. Maybe you'll get lucky.

Many people are wondering where to find the PDA of a missing soldier? PDA in this case is the personal matter of the amnestied, or rather, “filtered” fighter. The fact is that the soldiers released from captivity were checked by the NKVD. If there were no reasons to find fault with him, then often separate documents were not drawn up at all. In all other cases, duplicate cards must be available in the FSB archives.

Here's how to find a soldier who died in WWII. We really hope that our advice has helped you in some way.

Instructions for finding information about soldiers who did not return from the front.

Every May 9th the “Immortal Regiment” is held. I would also like to participate, but I know almost nothing about my front-line relatives. Where to look for information?

More than 6.3 million soldiers died in the Great Patriotic War, and 4.5 million were missing. The fate of the dead and missing is not known to every family. The reasons for this can be completely different. But, fortunately, today this information can be found out, even if no documents or photographs of the soldier have been preserved. Most of the archival files from the period of the Great Patriotic War have already been digitized and stored in public databases on the Internet. With their help, you can trace the soldier’s combat path, learn about his wounds, awards, place and circumstances of death, and burial place.

My husband’s mother’s father was drafted to the front in July 1941 and died in one of the first battles,” shared Valentina Rogacheva, a journalist for the Svoykirovsky portal. - Mother received a funeral - “Dead.” But there was no burial place or any information at all. Then the village where my mother-in-law’s family lived was burned by the Germans during the retreat, and there was no information left about her father at all: no photographs, no documents - everything was burned. All her life she dreamed of learning at least something about her father. And so, on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the Victory, I learned in the news that the data of soldiers of the Great Patriotic War was being digitized. We started looking for information on the Internet. All we knew was his full name, year of birth and year of enlistment. In one of the public databases they found him in the lists of those buried in a mass grave on the territory of Belarus and a note stating that he died in battle. And although the place of burial is not entirely clear, it is now at least clear that he died not in captivity, but in battle, that he was buried, albeit in a mass grave.

So, all you need to know for the first stage of the search is the last name, first name and patronymic of the deceased or missing person, his date and place of birth. This can be found out from relatives. It is also advisable to know where the soldier was drafted.

What databases can you use?

There are four main databases with documents digitized from archives, which are constantly updated:

. A generalized data bank on the dead and missing during the Great Patriotic War and the post-war period. The personal information they contain amounts to more than 20 million records;
. The data bank contains 12.5 million records of awards of orders and medals “For Courage” (awarded to about 4.6 million people) and “For Military Merit” (awarded to more than 5.2 million people), as well as 22 million cards from the award card index and card indexes of awards of the Order of the Patriotic War, I and II degrees, for the 40th anniversary of the Victory;
. The portal was created by the Ministry of Defense by decision of the Russian Pobeda organizing committee. It summarizes the data banks “Memorial” and “Feat of the People in the Great Patriotic War 1941 - 1945.” Here you can view historical maps and combat logs;
- website of the all-Russian movement “Immortal Regiment”. Users independently upload data about their front-line relatives. At the moment, the Immortal Regiment database contains more than 400 thousand entries.

However, there are a few things to keep in mind. Firstly, the soldier’s name may have been written down incorrectly when joining the front (for example, Snigirev instead of Snegirev, Kiril instead of Kirill), the same goes for his date of birth (some conscripts themselves asked to change their age in order to get to the front). So if you can’t find a person by exact full name and date of birth, you can try to write the last name as it would be perceived by ear, and change the year of birth by a couple of years, up or down. Secondly, if you are looking for information on the place of conscription or birth, you need to remember that the administrative-territorial division of the regions of the RSFSR has changed. For example, Oparinsky, Lalsky and Podosinovsky districts were included in the Kirov region only in 1941, and before that they belonged to the Arkhangelsk region. You can check the administrative division on the website, and you can learn more about the intricacies of database searches.

In addition to databases on the Internet, there are also Books of Memory. These are large printed publications in several volumes, in which those killed during the Great Patriotic War are listed by name (alphabetically). There are such Books in every region: in Kirov you can ask for them in the Herzen Library. It may also be that your relative’s name is not in any of the databases or in the Book of Memory. In this case, you can try sending the official one by mail (!) to the Central Archive of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. But to do this, you need to know more accurate information about the deceased (for example, in which unit he served) and you will have to wait about six months for an answer.

By the way, in rare cases you can also find letters from the front. For example, on websites and or in the digitized “Letters from the Front” (must be viewed manually). But you will have to search by last name and initials.

What if a soldier goes missing?

The count of missing people during the Great Patriotic War is still ongoing. Various researchers put the figure from 4 to 7 million people. It is difficult to determine the exact number, since in front-line reports the missing were sometimes combined with prisoners or included in lists with the total number of losses. About 500 thousand people were mobilized in the first days of the war, but were not included in the lists of troops. Some families received neither letters from the front nor “funeral” messages.

Information about the missing person can also be stored in one of the open databases. First of all, this is the same Memorial OBD. If you have information that a soldier was captured, try typing his first and last name in Latin letters (Ivan Petrov). In addition, there is a separate electronic database of prisoners of war - Saxon Memorials.

Those captured by Germans are listed alphabetically. If the German camp in which the prisoner of war was held was liberated by Soviet troops, after the end of the war such a person could end up in the NKVD inspection and filtration camp. Alas, the electronic database of PFL prisoners is only available for natives of the Perm region. You can try to find filtration and verification files and captured German cards through the State Archives of the Kirov Region

Search teams can also help in finding information about missing persons. Since 1989, “Memory Watches” have been held in regions where military operations took place, during which search engines raise fallen soldiers, identify them, and then search for relatives throughout the country. Some people keep documents that help identify a person, in rare cases - letters to relatives or personal items with a signature (for example, a spoon). But, as a rule, it is possible to identify a person by a soldier’s medallion - a small metal capsule into which a piece of paper with the soldier’s data was inserted.

Photo: serovglobus.ru

It indicated the name, military rank, year and place of birth, place of mobilization and family address. An archive of records from all found medallions can be found on the Internet: they are recorded in special books - “Names from Soldiers’ Medallions”, which are published on the Russian Search Movement. By looking for a familiar name in the lists, you can find out when, where and by whom the fighter was found. If the record contains information that the relatives of the deceased have been found, you can request their contacts from the search team. You can also search for information by the fighter's last name.

And now briefly:

1. We find out from the relatives of the deceased his full name, place and date of birth, as well as the year and place of conscription.

2. We look for information in databases. First of all, through the Memorial OBD. We try to type the name with errors: the way they are perceived by ear.

3. We are looking for additional information: we find out the soldier’s combat path and awards on the “Memory of the People” website.

4. We are looking for digitized or decrypted letters from the front on the Internet by the name of the soldier.

If you have questions that you cannot find answers to, send them to us, and we will definitely take them into development.

We have been keeping the memory of the Great War of the 20th century and its heroes for more than 70 years. We pass it on to our children and grandchildren, trying not to lose a single fact or surname. Almost every family was affected by this event; many fathers, brothers, husbands never returned. Today we can find information about them thanks to the painstaking work of military archives staff and volunteers who devote their free time to searching for soldiers’ graves. How to do this, how to find a WWII participant by last name, information about his awards, military ranks, place of death? We could not ignore such an important topic, we hope that we can help those who are looking and want to find.

Losses in the Great Patriotic War

It is still unknown exactly how many people left us during this great human tragedy. After all, the counting did not begin immediately; only in 1980, with the advent of glasnost in the USSR, historians, politicians, and archive staff were able to begin official work. Until this time, scattered data that were beneficial at that time were received.

After celebrating Victory Day in 1945, J.V. Stalin said that we had buried 7 million Soviet citizens. He spoke, in his opinion, about everyone, both about those who died during the battle and about those who were taken prisoner by the German occupiers. But he missed a lot, did not say about the rear employees who stood at the machine from morning until night, falling dead from exhaustion. I forgot about the sentenced saboteurs, traitors to the motherland, ordinary residents and siege survivors of Leningrad who died in small villages; missing persons. Unfortunately, they can be listed for a long time.
Later L.I. Brezhnev provided different information, he reported 20 million dead.

Today, thanks to the decoding of secret documents and search work, the numbers are becoming real. Thus, you can see the following picture:

Combat losses received directly at the front during battles amount to about 8,860,400 people.
Non-combat losses (from illnesses, wounds, accidents) - 6,885,100 people.

However, these figures do not yet correspond to complete reality. War, and even this kind of war, is not only the destruction of the enemy at the cost of one’s own life. These are broken families - unborn children. This is a huge loss of the male population, thanks to which it will not soon be possible to restore the balance necessary for good demography.

These are diseases, hunger in the post-war years and death from it. This is rebuilding the country again, again in many ways, at the cost of people’s lives. All of them also need to be taken into account when doing calculations. All of them are victims of terrible human vanity, whose name is war.

How to find a participant in the Great Patriotic War 1941 - 1945 by last name?

There is no better memory for the stars of victory than the desire of the future generation to know how it was. The desire to save information for others, to avoid such repetition. How to find a WWII participant by last name, where to find possible information about grandfathers and great-grandfathers, fathers who took part in battles, knowing their last name? Especially for this purpose, there are now electronic repositories that everyone can access.

obd-memorial.ru - here contains official data containing reports of units about losses, funerals, trophy cards, as well as information about rank, status (died, was killed or disappeared, where), scanned documents.
moypolk.ru is a unique resource containing information about home front workers. The very ones without whom we would not have heard the important word “Victory”. Thanks to this site, many have already been able to find or help find lost people.

The work of these resources is not only to search for great people, but also to collect information about them. If you have any, please report it to the administrators of these sites. In this way, we will do a great common cause - we will preserve memory and history.

Archive of the Ministry of Defense: search by last name of WWII participants

Another one is the main, central, largest project - http://archive.mil.ru/. The documents preserved there are mostly isolated and remained intact due to the fact that they were taken to the Orenburg region.

Over the years of work, CA staff have created an excellent reference apparatus showing the contents of archival accumulations and funds. Now its goal is to provide people with access to possible documents through electronic computing technology. Thus, a website has been launched where you can try to find a military man who participated in the Second World War, knowing his last name. How to do it?

On the left side of the screen, find the “memory of the people” tab.
Indicate his full name.
The program will give you the available information: date of birth, awards, scanned documents. Everything that is in the files for a given person.
You can set a filter on the right, selecting only the sources you want. But it's better to choose everything.
On this site it is possible to look at military operations on a map and the path of the unit in which the hero served.

This is a unique project in its essence. There is no longer such a volume of data collected and digitized from all existing and available sources: card indexes, electronic memory books, medical battalion documents and command directories. In truth, as long as such programs and the people who provide them exist, the memory of the people will be eternal.

If you didn’t find the right person there, don’t despair, there are other sources, maybe they’re not as large-scale, but that doesn’t make them any less informative. Who knows in which folder the information you need might be lying around.

Participants of the Second World War: search by last name, archive and awards

Where else can you look? There are more narrowly focused repositories, for example:

dokst.ru. As we said, those who were captured also became victims of this terrible war. Their fate may be displayed on foreign websites like this one. Here in the database there is everything about Russian prisoners of war and the burials of Soviet citizens. You only need to know the last name, you can look at the lists of captured people. The Documentation Research Center is located in the city of Dresden, and it was he who organized this site to help people from all over the world. You can not only search the site, but also send a request through it.
Rosarkhiv archives.ru is an agency that is an executive authority that keeps records of all government documents. Here you can make a request either online or by telephone. A sample electronic appeal is available on the website in the “appeals” section, left column on the page. Some services here are provided for a fee; a list of them can be found in the “archive activities” section. With this in mind, be sure to ask whether you will need to pay for your request.
rgavmf.ru - a naval reference book about the destinies and great deeds of our sailors. In the “orders and applications” section there is an email address for processing documents left for storage after 1941. By contacting the archive staff, you can get any information and find out the cost of such a service; most likely it is free.

WWII awards: search by last name

To search for awards and feats, an open portal has been organized, dedicated specifically to this www.podvignaroda.ru. Information is published here about 6 million cases of awards, as well as 500,000 unawarded medals and orders that never reached the recipient. Knowing the name of your hero, you can find a lot of new things about his fate. The posted scanned documents of orders and award sheets, data from registration files, will complement your existing knowledge.

Who else can I contact for information about awards?

On the website of the Central Election Commission of the Ministry of Defense, in the section “Awards are looking for their heroes”, a list of awarded soldiers who did not receive them was published. Additional names can be obtained by phone.
rkka.ru/ihandbook.htm - encyclopedia of the Red Army. It published some lists of the assignment of senior officer ranks and special ranks. The information may not be as extensive, but existing sources should not be neglected.
http://www.warheroes.ru/ is a project created to popularize the exploits of the defenders of the Fatherland.

A lot of useful information, which sometimes is not found anywhere, can be found on the forums of the above sites. Here people share valuable experiences and tell their own stories that can help you too. There are many enthusiasts who are ready to help everyone in one way or another. They create their own archives, conduct their own research, and can also be found only on forums. Don't shy away from this type of search.

WWII veterans: search by last name

oldgazette.ru is an interesting project created by ideological people. A person who wants to find information enters data, it can be anything: full name, name of awards and date of receipt, line from a document, description of an event. This combination of words will be calculated by search engines, but not just on websites, but in old newspapers. Based on the results, you will see everything that was found. Maybe this is where you will be lucky, you will find at least a thread.
It happens that we search among the dead and find among the living. After all, many returned home, but due to the circumstances of that difficult time, they changed their place of residence. To find them, use the website pobediteli.ru. This is where people searching send letters asking for help in finding their fellow soldiers, random encounters during the war. The project's capabilities allow you to select a person by name and region, even if he lives abroad. If you see it on these lists or similar, you need to contact the administration and discuss this issue. Kind, attentive staff will definitely help and do everything they can. The project does not interact with government organizations and cannot provide personal information: telephone number, address. But it is quite possible to publish your search request. More than 1,000 people have already been able to find each other this way.
1941-1945.at Veterans do not abandon their own. Here on the forum you can communicate, make inquiries among the veterans themselves, perhaps they have met and have information about the person you need.

The search for the living is no less relevant than the search for dead heroes. Who else will tell us the truth about those events, about what they experienced and suffered. About how they greeted victory, the very first, the most expensive, sad and happy at the same time.

Search on the website Memory of the People

Hello everyone who doesn’t know, I want to tell you about this site" Memory of the people". This is not an advertisement, I just saw news about the site on TV one day and decided to check it out.

My grandfather Sergei Ilyich went to the front at the beginning of the war. Called from the village of Ulyanovka in Bashkortostan. That’s where I was when I found him on the site, my grandmother kept saying casually, “I wonder if he’s still alive and lost somewhere, or found someone else after the war.” She didn’t have a funeral, as far as I understand, my grandfather was listed as missing.

She told touching stories. When the guys from the village went to war, they said, “We won’t come back,” that in the war they were now shooting from the sky. And I decided to find any information about him.

How to find a relative on the People's Memory website?

I just typed in his initials and place of birth and immediately saw the following:

You can enter your initials on the official website “Memory of the People: Ministry of Defense website searching for a soldier 1941-1945.” The site is available at the link: https://pamyat-naroda.ru/.

I didn’t believe it right away, but you can’t help but believe such detailed information. Apparently, he was captured after the first battles, at the very beginning of the war on September 9, 1941. He died in February '42. Not only is this information in itself comprehensive, I also found a German document.

My surprise knew no bounds. Prisoner of war camp Shtablak. (If there are people who know German, please translate the lines in the right column, I would be very grateful).

In the lower right corner, the first and last name of my grandmother, Vera Makarova, village of Ulyanovka, Bashkir Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, Aurgazinsky district, is written in HAND. All the details. I don’t know why when I see this document I feel uneasy. The Germans are incredibly pedantic.
