razreshite dolozhit'

[Kevin Windle]

Robert,

I believe the usual phrase is, or used to be, 'Permission to report',
but there may well be acceptable variations.

 Robert, I would translate your phrase "Permission to speak, Comrade
Komissar." Normally komissars, and now chaplains, are not addressed by
rank,
unless they are receiving an award or promotion...


Best,
