Soviet OOBs

[Art]

They are '222 заи.стр.полка' (rear shelf?-no idea)

Replacement rifle regiment

7 пмпм

Pontoon-bridge regiment

28 separate chemical battalion?

Separate chemical defense (or anti-chemical) battalion

I think I have the 22 & 24 всо correctly identified as 'Military Construction Detachments'

Right

BSA Date is real, but you must find and buy it online. I don't know about the Perechins list.

"Perechins list", mentioned in wargamedesignstudio.com blog, may be downloaded at the following link https://www.soldat.ru/doc/perechen/ . The No. 5, the one the blogger used for the 80th Gds Rifle Division OoB research sample, is the one named Перечень № 5 (Перечень = Perechen' = List in Russian language). I know that in this forum we must write a perfect English, but i am talking about Russian and Перечень = Perechen' is a RUSSIAN word. The Russians and I apologize for this.

From its title page it's not clear. But as soon as the last volume was published in 1990, I suspect that in 1991, or a bit later.

Thanks for the reply.

That is what I have also assumed, a date in the early 1990s. Am curious if the declassification date is known. Perhaps only to those with the "need to know" in Russia.

Declassification is a complicated routine. Sometimes its traces can be found on book titles. Unfortunately BSSA carries no traces of dates for it.
I remember in the USSR there were quite many classified publications carrying the lowest "DSP" signature.
Even in my university I know some dissertations, which were far away from military subjects, but carried this signature and needed a special routine to get access to. Anybody could take them, but needed to persuade librarians that you really need this dissertation
BSSA had the same signature., i.e. it was available for anybody, but in specialized library section with special documents prooving your interest....
