Wow! I'm impressed. I suspect they either don't really have over 12 millions records available or there is some problem in the search engine making many records not available through search engine.
Unfortunately, I am not a Russian speaker neither. However, I am constantly learning and improving and use many tools to help me. I find there is so much wealth of information in the Russian internet that it would be a shame to not use it. As for podvignaroda, I like to look at my soldiers' subordinates or superiors award citations, or to read citations for other members of the same small unit. This can help better understanding the fighting that unit went through during that time and consequently, it helps learning more about the individual soldier that we research. Also, you can use the site to research Military IDs or other IDs. As for obd-memorial, I also got hits for MIA and KIA, soldiers that were sent to jail (Gulag), and a few others that I am still trying to figure what the document was for. I didn't really make any official calculation, but now I think I am closer to 2/3 than 3/4 of hits. However, I don't have very many groups and many of them where already researched by traditional mean. So far, I didn't get any new hit on podvignaroda for an award that was attempted to be researched at Podolsk but came without result. Also, for now we can't expect to find any long service awards in post 1945 or GPW catch-up awarding. I have always wanted to find unit's awarding citations. I have few groups that earned Suvorov or Red Banner orders for which I would like to obtain the citation. Are those posted on podvignaroda and how can we search for them? I know for the Honorific city titles given to unit, those are available through the Supreme Commander Decrees and where published in newspapers of the time as well. But what about orders awarded to units? Last edited by CtahhR; 02-17-2013 at 12:13 PM. |
