This is the Радуга 2 or "Rainbow 2". I think it was a 1957 or 1958 release. It followed the mechanical телевизор Радуга or "Rainbow TV" which is the only art deco color television I think I've ever seen. If you can understand Russian here is a video that shows the телевизор Радуга https://youtu.be/_5A-XP9eydI.
