Hi matt , its a great site and gives a lot of profiles,i have used it quite a bit , BUT as steve says always try and confirm any info if possible , there is usually the source of the info under the profiles ,this can be a good indication of how reliable it is.for example i was looking at some on there the other day and the source credited was Yefim Gordon , a very well respected expert on all things soviet , so i took it as a good indication of its authenticity. cheers tony
