| | Russian translation:Диплом юриста (с отличием, или красный диплом), Кандидат наук | Explanation:
JD - Juris Doctor - Doctor of Jurisprudence; Doctor of Law.
JSD (in europe it is called SJD) - Doctor of Juridical sciences, доктор юриспруденции, link: http://www.abbyyonline.com/translate.aspx?LingvoAction=trans...
So, the main issue here is the differnce in education system.
Since the US system does not have the bachelor of law, the JD is the only way to get approved legal education, or one should go to LLM and then to SJD.
In Soviet Union, the legal education was offered in the universities, giving the diplomas equivalent to US JD (the division of bachelor and master degrees appeared later, after dissolution of the Soviet Union)
Thus, to my understanding the JD received in Moscow in 1982 could be just a regular law degree from a regular university.
The JSD here stands for the Кандидат наук - it would be impossible to get Доктор наук in 3 years after graduation from the university.
