Russian Release Document

Description:

So we are looking at a release document from the Kargopolskii Corrective Labour Camp (GULAG) AKA Kargopol'Lag which was in Arkhangelsk Oblast. This was the document given to poles on their release allowing them to travel through the USSR to get to the Polish Army "On the basis of the directive of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR the above has been amnestied as a Polish citizen and has the right to freely reside on the territory of the USSR with the exception of the border zone, forbidden zones, areas designated as on a war footing and regime (possibly prison) towns in the first and second category." The document was valid for three months and was to be exchanged for a passport. It is signed by Captain of State Security Korobitsin, Director of NKVD Administration, Kargopol'Lag”. Many Thanks for this translation from Mark at the Kresy-Siberia group.
