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

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.
