I have a Soviet-era Электроника system that's a PDP-11 compatible keyboard-enclosure microcomputer. It's not the most practical thing since simh exists, but it sure is fun to have. They were made mostly in Ukraine IIRC, and were available throughout the Pact countries. Mine's wired for Bulgarian mains of the time.
I spend more time with my mostly PDP-8 compatible desktop from DEC itself, the DECMate III.
Another fun thing about these systems is a lot of the documentation for the PDP series, especially the PDP-11, its peripherals, and contemporary DEC network hardware is available on microfiche. One portable fiche viewer and lots of fiche takes up far less space than the same docs on paper.
