Isn't the reliability of official Soviet sources rather questionable? --Gerrit ^CUTEDH 16:33, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Quite the contrary, Soviet sources are quite precise and accurate so long as the topic is as uncontroversial as a WWII fighting unit. Normally you wouldn't use it as a source to describe the actions of Alexander Solzhentisen but the sources they draw from come from the Soviet archives and historians. --MarshallBagramyan 17:31, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
