Soviet stuff is really easy to identify, because it was pretty much all made by government owned and run factories, and then kept in service for a very long time. Products were kept in production for a long time, and updated only when advances in technology made it necessary, so there were way less makes and models than the US companies produced. This makes documentation easy to find, and that website I linked to has a more or less comprehensive list of Soviet consumer electronics.
It's be just awesome if someone made a similar website in English, to document all the models and products RCA and Zenith made, but with annual model changes creating a huge number of models, and the fact that original documentation is now scattered all over the place, I think it'll never happen.
