Re: Lieutenant Colonel Vasily Ivanovich Andreev
The key to the group, however, comes in two translated autobiographical statements.
And, for a human touch, a photo of him later in life. |

Most of the documents in this full-documented group are pretty routine, so I'll spare you those. I'll add a few of the more uncommon ones.
First, his honored railroad badge and document. And a (missing!) metro jubilee (also shown elsewhere, I think). |
