Furthermore, the list itself contains a number of duplicate entries for various families. I was not able to reproduce one photograph legibly on a laser printer, and even if I could have, the ones I saw did not seem to be genealogically useful, however they may be useful for other purposes. Not all of the information I saw is in Russian, nor is it all handwritten. I saw a number of victim lists and Akty that were typed in Cyrillic. Poor ribbons and poor typewriters.
Legibility varies from excellent to poor.
The examples in the next section are better than average in this respect. This section shows samples of selected types of document formats that are found in the records. It's not a complete set of document types, but includes some that are more geneaologically interesting ones. The first type of document is what I call a victim list. From what I have seen, the victim list may very well be the most common type of document.
