Bingo! Just got a mail from Nota Bene, more than 10 pages of background on Sorkin from the Russian archives - and also another, more clear, picture of him.

Will get translation rolling and post later (apparently 3 soviet orders of red banner, 2 orders of red star, etc).

I had a look at that second link as well (man you have to be careful with auto-translators) and I am very impressed with this guy's life - three guesses what I honed in on.:rolleyes:

Right after the NKVD was formed, or at least became what we all know and hate about it, 1935-36, he was what looks like an adviser to the НКИД (People's Commissariat of Foreign Affairs) since I don't know how one is on "reserve" with them.

Also, this is the first person I have seen to actually attend and graduate from the Military and Foreign Affairs diplomatic academies. This man kept his brain working his whole life and I admire that.:thumbsup
