Update via soundform in the comments: "Holly crap! It's not an "analogue" synth - it's a fully digital soviet bullshit. Very heavy and sounds like piece of shit. 495$ ??? It costs 30$ max here in Ukraine."

According to ruskeys.net it is indeed digital. You'll find additional info there. Be sure to see the video link above for a bit of what it sounds like.
