That TV is definitely worth saving. Soviet-era Russian TVs are virtually never seen here in the USA. It would be quite a curiosity in this country, at least to TV collectors. In years of collecting, I have only found one Soviet Russian radio, brought here by a woman who was born in Sweden.
In another VideoKarma discussion, I just ran across a Russian website that includes a page about this TV model:

In addition to the description and photos, there are links to the operating manual and a short (silent) video showing the TVs being assembled at the factory. I only read English, so I used Google to translate the web page.
