We use QUERY because we expect a large number of patents
with the publication countries SU or RU.
The search in the /PA field yields a large number of patents.
The search in the /PAS field yields still more patents.
Combining the two results by OR.
Let us now see what documents were found with /PAS but not
with /PA.
Due to the transfer of the names into Cyrillic letters Ph has
become F. The PAS field holds the correct Latin spelling.

The /PAS field is only available in INPADOC. It should be used
with name searches in addition to /PA to obtain a better result.
