Thanks should instead be given to Jolien Tyler who took the time to journey to some deep, dark corner of her university library and find this paper on my request.

From the other hand, "lack of the access to the Intellectual Property produced in a local language cannot be the excuse for postulating the Global priority in this particular IP produced later in another local language. Principles of Equity of language and geographic location can be observed if based on the chronological priority only."

Of course the Iron Curtain meant that Ploem was not originally aware of that work, and the Brumberg and Krylova 1953 paper is in Russian, so may not mean much to most of us even if it can be found. (Suspect you'd have to use Cyrillic Google to find since English Google doesn't).
