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.

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.
