"Soviet War"

[J P Maher]

Does the encyclopedia have the original article on Lavrentiy Beria and the post mortem replacement?

    This curious inscription appears on a Ukrainian ritual towel
    (rushnyk), probably 1920-30s, from northern Chernihiv region
    (Chernihivske Polissia)

    Any thoughts on what the «Soviet War» refers to?  Could it be the
    Civil War (Revolution aftermath)?

    And could anyone comment on the dialect that might be reflected in
    the spelling? Could that "karovushka" line come from a song?

    

    Thanks,  Frank

    

    PS... I have a complete copy of Bol'shaia Sovetskaia
    Entsiklopediia...in very good condition. (The 1950s edition, with
    the extended article on Bering Strait.)  Any thoughts on whether
    some institution/library might find this of use, or how I might go
    about selling it?
