Note that this clip currently has no date range.
"Mr Kalinin" is Mikahil Kalinin. He was President until 1946. I think we can therefore safely date this clip as originating between 1941 and 1946.
"Marshal Zhukov" is Georgy Zhukov.
"Marshal Vasilevski" should read Vasilevsky, (Aleksandr Vasilevsky).
"Marshal Voronov" is Nikolay Voronov.
"General Rakosovski" should read Rokossovsky (Konstantin Rokossovsky).
"General Galavanov" should read Govorov, (Leonid Govorov).
"General Tolbuhin" should read Tolbukhin (Fyodor Tolbukhin).
"General Novikov" could be one of 2 or 3 people, so I shall leave that one.
