Unfortunately, I do not have a translation of the record card of the full recommendation, just the "core". I have the original in Russian, though.
I also have his full documented group.
Captain-Lieutenant Vladimir Vasil'evich Vas'kovsii
The recommendation:
"Comrade Vas'kovsky V. V. while being a security officer of the Special Department of KGB USSR showed himself an active, disciplined, and responsible officer. He actively participates in works of the local party chamber and is a candidate of local party bureau.
"He participated in five long-haul voyages. In November 1982 as K-424 crew member he participated in the development of new tactical procedures, including the use of an atomic submarine under the ice fields of the Central Arctic. That included fourteen ice-breaking surfacings done by K-424. He did a great amount of work to ensure the state security amongst the crew of the submarine.
"Both in everyday life and during the long-haul voyages, he spends all his energy maintaining high combat readiness of the atomic submarine and strengthening personnel’s military discipline.
"His active work helps the Command fulfill combat missions aimed at the defense and protection of the state interests of the USSR.
"For successful fulfillment of Command's tasks and developing new tactical procedures for use of atomic submarine’s weapons from under the ice fields of Central Arctic he deserves to be awarded with the medal 'For Valiant Labor'."
Obviously, this recommendation was later altered.
Researched by name, but with documents for the MMM and long service medals.
