Hi,
I have photos of two versions of VT-34 which were used by Polish Army. If you are interested in getting them- just let me know.

Ronald,
The VT-34 was a post-war Czech conversion. It was used by the Czechs and Polish, but not the Russians. I'm not 100% sure with this answer, but I am about 90% certain it is correct. Rob (Sabot) may be able to give you a more definative answer since he is pretty well versed with modern armor.

Ken's right. Remember that Russians use the cyrilic alphabet. CCCP is the abbreviation for how Union of Soviet Socialist Republics would be pronounced in Russian. The cyrilic C actually makes an S sound and P gives an R sound.
