I know that site for years. In Romania we imported a lot of electronics from U.S.S.R. Some of theyr stuff was better then Romanian stuff. We where banned to manufcature reel to reel tape recorders, but we assambled cassette recorders (in 3 different locations).
Generally speaking, Soviet, Czech, Polish and East-German electronics where better built then the Romanian ones...
Here is an intresting Soviet radio made in one the Baltic countries:

Most of the Soviet tube sets had one big good thing: a transformes, so no live chassies.
