I'm sure the state will jump in at some point when they realise profit can be made and their services will stop the monopoly - mind you I am an optimist.
The amount of information out there has exploded in the last few years and it is only ever expanding. Podvig has been a real game changer and I hope it continues to do so. As right now prices are far from competitive. Bulgarian research is $2.10 a go and a Pre-WW2 British record card is £1 a go from "dealers". With the full service record being an additional £10 if it didn't get destroyed in the blitz (1.25 million of 6.5 remain). Now this is all without mentioning the availability of labour ukazes! All those "WW2 Heroes" that turn out in reality to be agricultural workers of Brezhnev's plans..... It was this - http://soviet-awards.com/forum/sovie...tml#post195603 that really ignited both researching labour awards and learning how to transcribe Georgian. The first step to some really great things. As for research I've been asked to find out the names and service of a trio of US GIs that came to Goole from PA, one got married and went back. Fortunately for me when Indiana library had a clearout of reference books etc I was there to snatch them all up. Unfortunately it'll probably take me a few days to dig the books I need out. If you have any Bulgarian Heroes Of Socialist Labour I can research them instantly. Just like this chap - http://soviet-awards.com/forum/sovie...our-glory.html
