That is the first time I have seen an award recommendation upgraded at such a high level!! I wonder what information he received to spark his decision? I am sure that he most likely did not know the man... Interesting set!

Any chance this could be a relative of my RBoL to Mariya Bliznyuk?

No way to find out i suppose!

Is her middle name Petrovich?

Over 300,000 Latin entries for Bliznyuk/Bliznjuk on Google. Not a rare name at all.

The patronimic doesn't fit, so even if, she wasn't a daughter or sister. The name is probably quite common in Ukraine, tough.

Nope, silly me it's Mikhailovich!
