It’s a relatively clean scan and good quality print.

It can ofc be fake but you are going down some rabbit hole for the wrong reasons.

That’s a translation of the Russian document, the KGB aren’t going to write their documents in English.

It’s literally says translated by....

This is the translator https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catherine_A._Fitzpatrick

She used to run Radio Free Europe.

I'm not sure what your point is. We all know it's a translation. I merely pointed out that it has been artificially made to look like it was scanned or photocopied, when in fact that is a special font that fakes the appearance of imperfections. You contradicted that, so I just responded to prove it.

That doesn’t makes it fake... it’s just a typewriter font.
