Thanks Stocktrooper. I was not sure if there was a unique "correct" translation. It seems there are few possibilities.

If I were choosing which definition I would use in English dealing with labor, I would go with - employee, team leader and supervisor (perhaps shift supervisor (maybe even "manager") depending on the work he did and where he worked).

Thanks Philip. I like your suggestion. This was between his military service in 1926-28 and before he re-joined army full-time in 1935 until 1953. He was working in a Leningrad factory called Red Dawn (Krasnaya Zarya).

Now, I need again some help about this officer... in the personal file, in the education section for military/political education, it mentions that he completed ВОШС in October 1950. Anyone has a clue what this course can be? At that time, he was Guards Lieutenant-Colonel, commander on a Communication Regiment if this can be of any help.

Thanks for your help. :thumbsup

Okay.. I found a bit more information... he would have tended that school from 1.12.49 to October 1950 and got the "xorosho" (4/5) grade. VOsHs is XXXXX Officer School of Communications. What is the first word?

Thanks!

Following the naming of other institutions I would go for Higher or Highest.

I was working on this from the other end and had assumed that the abbreviation stood for Higher School for X Officers. The S had be stumped as I had forgotten about signals/communications.

I will go along with the "higher" officer school as well.

In preparation for the campaign he showed a lot of effort and amplifier to bring under his supervision in an exemplary state. Ahead of schedule and quality PPO (fire fighting equipment) and PPR (transceiver station) of the area. Deep knowledge of their profession allowed him to correctly assess the combat effectiveness of technical means and make the right decisions. In the march carried a vigilant watch and had a great help for the young sailors to learn their specialty. In the hardest moments he did not lose self-control, the action sponded correctly clearly and dispassionately. He showed courage fortitude and resourcefulness in challenging sailing conditions to maintain high vigilance action of mechanisms. In contrast to the implementation of a government job and displaying courage worthy of awarding the Medal of Ushakov.

There are several possibilities, however PPO is probably "fire fighting equipment." PPR could be from context "transceiver station."
