Highly unusual to see this type of thing, so I got them cheaply. But what to do with them? I picked them up to avoid them disappearing into the void, but I don't read or speak Russian.

Is anyone on this forum interested in taking these documents on as a project?

Not looking to sell, just ensure they are looked after properly.

The Eight Department was in charge of Cryptography and I believe Special Unit #104 was a relaying station.

In general, the doc is an extended serviceman ID, issued to 1913-born sgt. Porfiriy Filippovich Kontush of the MVD military unit 6600 in 1957.

Doesn't seem to be a fake. Although there is no info on Porfiriy on pn (not surprising if he was with the NKVD/MVD), two others sons of Filipp from the same city of Gorodok are on podvignaroda, born in 1910 and 1916 respectively, which makes it likely that he was their middle brother.

I wanted to take the opportunity to post one of my favorite items from my collection. It is a complete NKVD arrest file for the unfortunate Constantine Alexadrovich Makhnovski. The file is stamped "Secret" and is dated from October 1941. The file even contains his handwritten confession, which tells a very sad story. I've never seen the like of it before and was curious if anyone else has. Forgive the bad pics, my talents are not in photography!

Take a look at the inside!
