Spravka

Spravka

Singular. Plural: spravki.

In Russian: written confirmation of a fact.

In the Soviet Union, only written confirmation of even insignificant fact sufficed. A handshake, an oral or phone confirmation was not trusted.

A saying went: “With no spravka you are an insect. But with a spravka you are a human being.”
