Someone finds a decree for a certain date (No offensive Alex!), we are just going to assume that that's the right decree, and we are just going to assume that the recipient lived in Western Ukraine, just because his last name is of Romanian origin?
Without seeing his name listed in that particular decree, none of this can be assumed.
None taken, Auke. Of course this isn't real research. But a hint, evaluated reasonably, is better than nothing. Taken as outright fact is probably worse.
In this case, we've jumped to conclusions. If we found the other ukaz and if it matched, we would have a better picture. At best, we could say "the recipient's work was likely connected to beet-farming." Maybe second best, "agriculture."
