# For the attention of Comrade Muu


Managed to translate the cover (took ages with an online Cyrillic keyboard)
Frustrated with the handwriting, not least since Wiki says one letter can be written as g.

But here's what I got thus far.

PROLETARIANS OF ALL COUNTRIES INCORPORATE!
COMMUNIST PARTY OF THE SOVIET UNION
REGISTRATION FORM FOR MEMBERSHIP OF THE CPSU

He's from Belarus. 5 scans of stuff (between 148 and 366K)
1 2 3 4 5

Posted rather than gazzed, to save all the copy & pasting. Translating it all
would be cruel and unusual, but it'd be nice to get a bit of an idea what he's about :)

I'm debating red bull.

EDIT: Don't mention the desks. I mentioned it once but I think I got away with it.

# His name is Vladimir Sergeyevich... Gvozdev?
I hate handwritten Cyrillic with a passion.

Not much to glean from this other than it being a registration form to join the Communist Party. He served in the army and speaks Russian and Ukrainian in addition to Belorussian, his native language.

# You'd think so but the cursive T looks more like an M
while the cursive G (Г) looks like a T

/i'd prefer if you were right, so my head would stop threatening to explode

# I know enough Russian to know that
But is it possible that the very lazy clerk filling in the paperwork had an off-moment and wrote the lazy version? I know I used to do it a lot ;)

# Haha, it's a fair cop. I've never heard the names "Tvozdyev" or "Gvozdyev" so your guess is as good as mine.

# Always make friends with the cleaners, no matter what you do for a living
- They're in every room of the building at some point

- lots of people will talk as though they're not there

- they're always waiting to impress someone with their knowledge of the internal workings of a company.

- also there are some very nice people who happen to be cleaners

The writing gets sloppier. At the start, the letters are wonderful to look at, then by 1988 it looks a bitty scrawly. *shame*
