Trimming off the rest of this post is unnecessary.
I will guarantee anonymity except in cases of blatant abuse.
I will achieve anonymity by tallying the results in

in prison camps, were troubling me greatly.
In an eating place I showed my papers as a corporal in
the Frontier Guards. These were Andrei's; I had been told
that I could have all his belongings, and no one had thought
of adding "except his official papers and Identity Card".
The waitress looked doubtful, and called a policeman who
was standing outside. He came in and there was much dis-
cussion. No, I had no food ration card, I had inadvertently
left it in Vladivostok, food regulations were not enforced
for the Guards at Vladivostok. The policeman fiddled with
my papers, and then said, "You will have to eat on the
