That is my friend Olafs in Latvia. He passed the information to some
actual russians that are into PDP-11's and it seems they are helping out
the owner.
Here is a thread with pictures on their forum:

The machine appears to be a DEC 11/23 with 128kW of memory, RD and RX
drives and an I/O board hooked up to some measuring machinery.
Cheers,
Pontus.
For those interested, he sent a pic (but haven't looked at it closely to see if the
-11 is even in there):

There were plenty of real PDP-11?s that found their way to Russia.
Often through front companies in say Vienna.

Someone has contacted me about a pdp-11 that
controls a "measuring machine

It appears that they want to replace the pdp-11 with a "ibm" (I'm guessing
a
pc), and then they would give the pdp-11 as a gift.
That is all the info I have. Are there any listmembers in Russia who would
be able to take on a project?

This for sure isn't a PDP11, it would be an "ELEKTRONIKA 60" I think.
This is something like an 11/23 but with metric Connectors, PCBs are a
little bit bigger as PDP11's.
I do own such a beast, that's a picture from the CPU:

Other pictures are in the same directory (directory index is allowed).
..it's running RT11 from a 8" RX Floppy clone...
