Time has passed (2 years!) but the luck has smiled upon me - more of Trusz's documents showed up. And as usual in such situation it made me almost starve for 2 weeks.
Anyway, let's start with a photograph - shows him as a private (I think) in the 10th Mounted Rifle Regiment before the war. The "gimnasterka" he is wearing is actually a polish uniform shirt adopted in 1920's (can't remember the model designation right now) that was often used as a training uniform.
Then there's 1940-dated Education Narkomat certificate of finnishing the course for little-literate. He actually had the education that would make him "very literate", but I assume hewasn't too good at Ukrainian. Got "good" from language and "exceptional" at arythmetics and geography. The document is of course in Ukrainian.
