Where catalogue and transcript differ

Transcript is almost entirely Russian. The catalogue says the song is about the strong female soldier; the transcript confirms a Russian song about a girl soldier. The second passage's transcript lines start only at 13:19, so material between 02:40 and 13:19 is not shown. Repeated 'peresikatshka' lines are a recogniser loop. Names such as Volodya and Kamenka are from Russian lines and uncertain.

A paraphrase of a machine reading: the topics can be trusted; names, numbers and family relations are to be heard before they are cited. How this layer was made.
