My translations of the parts are: finding aid, volume/collection, item, leaf.
In academic writing in Slavic, these would generally be
transliterated. If you translate, note that лист [list] is not a page,
but rather a leaf with an obverse and reverse. Happily, that means
that transliteration and translation are equivalent for at least one
of the elements.
