Here's the translation via a friend:
Variety: Memory of Lisovenko
This variety was cultivated, in NII (not sure what that stands for)
Siberian gardening named after M.A. Lisovenko, through crossbreeding
of 3 varieties: Stahanovka, Altaja and Negritjanka. It thrives in the
orchards of Belorussia. Because of underground blooming(?) they do not
suffer spring frosts. Berries are large (1.1 grams), round, black and
matte. The berries are of a good dessert taste. The bush is fairly
compact, shoots are straight. Has five-part rough leaves, green and
dull. Leaf blades are straight or slightly bent in along the main
vein. Advantages of the cultivar: highly fruitful and winter
endurance; resistance to diseases and pests.
