I grew up in the USSR and used these things. But I find the dreamy nostalgia in some comments revolting. Ah, funny EГГОГ message! The Soviet regime killed millions of its own people and forcefully subjugated nearby nations, but hey, they made some nice calculators! Also, as someone with knowledge of how the Soviet electronics industry worked (my father was employed there), I know all too well that the most advanced models of these calculators were copies of HP or TI calculators, using unauthorised copies of TI and other American chips. Basically stolen IP, as the USSR often did.
