DESCRIPTION OF THE ARTIFACT This appraisal concerns an original Soviet labor book (Trudovaya Knizhka) issued to Evgeny Ivanovich Antonenko, born in 1911, together with its officially issued insert (supplement) dated 3 July 1972.

Entries include employment history, promotions, commendations, awards, and retirement-era recognitions. The record shows no disciplinary actions or adverse administrative remarks.
