The translation into english is pretty decent but a bit rough in places, which is understandable. Russian and english are quite different. "I am ashamed to even remember how the well-known “Warrior with privileges” at the Supreme Council of the USSR mocked this old man, a participant in the Patriotic War,[WW2] Hero of the Soviet Union. Was it only she, mocked only him?" and this: "All these notorious activities with trying on gas masks and regarding the poorly drawn posters turned out to be unnecessary." ... stand out to me for various reasons. This is history told by a participant first hand from a particular place and point in time with a local point of view but with some of the original shackles removed. It is a bit retrospective though.
