When written in lower case a Cyrillic d looks like a g where as a Cyrillic b can look more like an o with a strong accent above.

It seems that the signature reads "Latatuyev", but it would be good to see a photo of the full sentence.

I agree. Thank you for all your helpful insight, gentlemen. I will post the entire document once I receive it and the mystery will be solved!

A Victory over Germany medal document awarded to Alexandra Timofeevna Ivanova (Александра Тимофеевна Иванова), I think, dated October 11th, 1965, but I need some help with who signed the document and from whom it was issued, please.

***CtahhR*** · 12-19-2012, 05:31 PM

Military Commissar of Narva Lt-Colonel Lisetskij.

Remember no X in Cyrillic.

Thank you very much, and here's another interesting group of documents received today. It was awarded to an Alexandra Timofeevna Kostromina (Александра Тимофеевна Костромина), undoubtedly not the same person as above. Again I would need some assistance please with who issued the documents and their respective signatures. It appears she was issued two 40th Anniversary of Victory documents, one on May 5th, the other the very next day, May 6th. I have seen the double issuance of the same award/document in other veteran's groupings.

Two of these are also awarded by Narva so I would suggest you have a group to a single person who got married (between 1965 and 1975).

Putting her married name into "the site" and looking for someone born in Narva could be helpful.

Interesting hypothesis; I never thought of that. . .
