How common are Soviet/eastern bloc-era products in today's Russia and Eastern Europe? Aside from more permanent stuff like buildings. But consumer products like cars, electronics, clothing, etc. How much is still left in 2018?

Almost impossible to see any soviet made product here.

Here in Russia it's a pretty popular area of collectioning. The radio from your pic, being new and not unboxed, would cost a huge.

Do I qualify as east europe?
Tons of "made in USSR" tools in schools and peoples carages.
Jose Gomez
I saw a train that had "made in USSR" written on it a few days ago.

I have a soviet era radio in my kitchen that is both powered and connecte to the radio station through the socket.

Cars, old electronics, and tools. It's not odd to see "manufactured in GDR" or variations thereof on older tech.
They're slowly disappearing, naturally, but you can still spot some if you look closely.

I have a number of books that were printed in the Sovie union

My meat mallet has CCCP stamped on the handle.

What about East German products?
Ayden Hernandez
Did they produce any good cars ever?
Blake Bennett
Yeah, I also got a whole set of these jaw wrenches "Made in DDR" when my grandfather died.
No idea where they come from because my family lived in the west, but probably he bought them on some garage sale or something.

Soviet electronics are still popular in the US for some things. Vacuum tubes, especially. They are getting more expensive.
Joshua Thompson
You can find quite a lot of ussr stuff in Finland still. Some tools, optics and lot's of tourist crap. I go to second hand stores quite a lot and theres always balalaikas, khokhloma dishes, nesting dolls and stuff like that.
Jaxson Jones
Yes, but that's a niche thing, DIY hiend audio. Not only tubes though, paper-in-oil and silver-foil capacitors, and so on.

There are plenty of things from that era.
I own a cigarette box with a ussr cosmonaut on it from my grandpa. I don't smoke though.
I also have a big leather jacket he bought in Moscow when traveling.
When I was helping a friends grandparents clean out their cellar I found a huge atlas with the sickle and hammer that looked cool as fuck. Sadly they decided they wanted to keep it, though they let me have some other stuff, mostly electronic components.

>The ANS synthesizer is a photoelectronic musical instrument created by Russian engineer Evgeny Murzin from 1937 to 1957. The technological basis of his invention was the method of graphical sound recording used in cinematography (developed in Russia concurrently with USA), which made it possible to obtain a visible image of a sound wave, as well as to realize the opposite goal—synthesizing a sound from an artificially drawn sound spectrogram.
>In this case the sine waves generated by the ANS are printed onto five glass discs using a process that Murzin (an optical engineer) had to develop himself. Each disc has 144 individual tracks printed onto it, for a total of 720 microtones (discrete pitches), spanning 10 octaves. This yields a resolution of 1/72 octave (16.67 cents). The modulated light from these wheels is then projected onto the back of the synthesizer's interface. These are arranged in a continuous swath vertically, with low frequencies at the bottom and high frequencies at the top.

Revox was not bad, but when you need a really good tape recorder.
