I translated this attestation a while back (it goes on for another page, but you get the gist). This must be one of the weirdest pieces of Russian handwriting I have seen. Note how the а's all look like и's; the о's look like и's, п's or а's; the р's look like т's or н's; the б's look like т's; the в's look like н's; the ь's look like в's; and the ы's look like, well, something indescribable. :rolleyes:
(The words I marked are работает, руководству, опыт, полком, весь, период, and проверила)

Well, I have seen a's written like this, but "Y" is indeed indescribable.
I remember that back in my university days we had the paleography practice. Well, it was easier to decipher the middle ages "fences" (a number of similar looking letters, one after another, that looked more or less like this: "[[[[[[["), however, there was a limited number of letters that could be representd by that, so with basics of Latin one could read the word, but here in Russian handwriting the almost every letter could berepresented by countless symbols.

Morning Guys,
Daft question.
When something has S/S written at the end of it. What does it stand for?
i.e вадннск район, выборновский с/с
Cheers!

Sel-Sovet Sort of like a Parish Council. A small settlement type at the end of the day.
Translation Help - Al-muell - 10-20-2014
I would traslate as "Village council"- selsoviet is short for Selskiy Soviet.

Now I know just what letter this is (and it is Cyrillic) but I am sure it would confuse many. The person who wrote this had a rather poor writing style.
Translation Help - Al-muell - 10-27-2014
I guess it's not "s", so less probale options: "Sh" or "L"?
Translation Help - CtahhR - 10-27-2014
It's none of those 3 letters. Sometimes I wonder about how someone with such poor handwriting was given such a task.
Translation Help - Auke - 10-27-2014
B perhaps?
Translation Help - CtahhR - 10-27-2014
It is indeed an upper case "Б". There was a Bulgarian at the Sports And Culture Committee in the 1950's that had a habit of writing "o" like this. Easily confused for an R.
