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.
