Gentlemen, i beg your assistance.

Help plz.bmp

The literal translation seems to mean "Social Status - Employee"


Is that right?

I would rather make that "servant" o "clerc" - could be eg. salesmen or bartender? I think I once saw "bufetchik" described as "sluzhashchiy".

In this line of any soviet document was expected to be one of 3 possible answers: "rabochii" (worker, or proletarian, "blue collar"), "kolhoznik" (agricultural worker), or "sluzhashii". The latter was associated with any "white collar" job, excluded from previous 2 classes.
