ShetlSeeker at http://www.jewishgen.org/ShtetlSeeker/LocTown.asp has two
possibilities:

Radushkino, Frol 55°13' 39°56' E M U G Russia  99.0 miles ESE of Moskva
55°45' 37°35'
Rodishkino 58°34' 33°50' E M U G Russia  239.8 miles NW of Moskva 55°45'
37°35'

Could not locate possibilities for Mandker Kreis.  Probably a phonetic
spelling also.
