The main ones I know of are the Pentagon and Scorpion computers, these are
z80 based speccy clones. I've been trying to buy one from Ru for a few years
with no sucess.

Subject: Soviet/Russian classic computers?
Hi everyone,
I have a friend that is leaving Wednesday for
Russia and eastern Europe. She said that she
could look around over there for old computers,
if I could supply her with some names of
computers to look for.
Does anyone know the make and model of some
classic soviet computers? They don't have to
be just "personal" computers. Big Iron is also
acceptable.
So far, after a web search, the only names
I have are the "TESLA" pc that someone brought
to VCF 2 and "BESM-6" a mainframe from about
1965.
If you can come up with other soviet/russian
computers, please copy me as well as the list
(so I don't have to wait for the digest) and
also give some indication of size (just to
help identify them).
Thanks in advance,
--Doug
