I'm guessing that this email has to do with this thread.

I agree, the "technical difficulties" page of soviet-star.com is very Eklipse Global. Very awesome.

Has anyone tried destegging the picture of the binder cover? I was wondering if that could be applied to this, seeing as the file size for that picture kind of big. Just a thought, maybe not a good one, but a thought.

Well I can't figure out that first or last word, but Совершенно сёкретно = Top Secret.

as I posted in a new thread (not thinking it might actually be related here since it's a new person's name)...

best I could do, manually entering russian letters:

[??] Совершенно сёкретно = "[??]: Top secret"

translating the letters in the lower right, in english google translates Лагшмивара as Lagshmivara, and a few hits match, typically typed as such: LagSHmiVAra

No idea what it is though.

first word is 'variant'.

First, both images (cover.jpg and the SovStar error) totally confuse stegdetect. FWIW.

So we've essentially got: Variant: Top Secret.

A Soviet first name list gave me: "Lagshmivara: Lager' Shmidta v Arktike (Shmidt's camp in the Artic)" But I don't know what that means... Link.

There's a Shmidt Subglacial Basin and a Schmidt Point in the antarctic named after "Soviet academician, Professor Otto Yu. Shmidt (1891-1956)." More... "Director of the Arctic Institute at Leningrad, 1930-32, Head of the Chief Administration of the Northern Sea Route, 1932-39, and leader of many Arctic expeditions." (All wikipedia).

Again, don't know what this buys us, but maybe more pages?

On the other hand, Natasha seems sort of clueless, so maybe the best thing would be to say there isn't enough to go on and ask for some more info?

Opinions?
