This one spotted by Eric Barbour of METASONIX
"Including an 'Elektronika 003' keyboard, 'Elektronika RITM' drumbox, and two 'Spektr' effect pedals. The videotape recorders were mostly B&W only, and 15 years behind the Japanese VCRs of 1981 in technology.
And it didn't matter anyway---even though these prices were very low, the average Russian could not afford 95% of the contents of this catalog. A small portable TV was 160 roubles, at a time when the average factory worker made 140 roubles/month and a retired pensioner made maybe 60 roubles/month."
