I received a researched, catch-up WWII Bravery Medal.

Post-war, this particular individual was serving as an NKVD "prison guard overseer" (nadziratel').

There is the abbreviation, "I T K" or "I TK", apparently the prison organization to which this individual was assigned.

The actual unit is "I TK - 4" and it was situated in western Uzbekistan.

Anyone have any ideas as to what "I T K" stands for?

Thanks in advance.

Based on the context you mentioned I'd say Исправительно-трудовой комплекс. ITK is also Исправительно-трудовой кодекс.

It would be #1 - Labor Correctional Facility. Thanks again.

Probably not a good place to be, especially as a "guest".

As we say in the military when something really sucks - "It builds character."

Working on some newly acquired documents. I am starting with a baker from the 48th Army.

A couple of bits have me beaten. Could anyone please help?

Fragment 1/1 - I have this as Artillery Regiment 399th Rifle Division действующей 48th Army. How does действующей (act; work; operate; function; etc) fit in?

Fragment 1/2 - I have this as "food engineer"?

Fragment 2 - This item on his medal list seems to read "медаль за выполнен боевого Задания" or Medal for accomplishing a combat mission". Is this another name for the Combat Service Medal?

As always any help appreciated

What does this say? It seems to read "Саша папес на Машу" or something like that but it doesn't make sense to me.
