I get this weird feeling when seeing all these Russian and Japanese synths on eBay with very little to be found about them on the internet. Its almost as if someone is making fake vintage synths. Either way, some of them sound really good indeed.

Yeah Of course! For this purpose you`ll need only the minor thing - YOUR PRIVATE PLANT! )

Speaking about Japanese synths - they are 10-times more common than Soviet (even Japanese vintage). Why? - Because in Japane they where prodused in large amounts by corporations, so to say they where in full mass production both for home use & of course for export all over the world. Soviet synthesizers (not Russian, the are Soviet (USSR) synths. Modern Russia don`t produce any hardware synths), where produced not by corporations but by small factories in very limited ammounts. They where not intended to be sold in common Soviet shops of music instruments (not mentioning for export of course they where NOT), they where produced for special purposes like recording studios, music halls & educational institutes, experimental laboratories e.t.c. That is why when we talk about Japanese synths, we can imagine some amounts of 100.000 or 1.000.000 devices, but Ussr synth had never such ammounts. If there where 1000 items - it was considered a MASS-produced soviet synth. That is why there are so little information on Internet about them. As for the sound - some of them sound great, some of them sound original & weird, some - cheesy... but they are valued for the fact THAT THE ARE!!! THEY EXIST (better say existed...but survived)))!!!
It is a certain "aesthetics" for what they are valued. First is the notion that when you get one...this is it! You only one of some 1000-2000 in the world, because this device whould never be produced anymore! Like Victorian-era chair or smth., there is certain collectioners aesthetics about it. Some people buy them because they are in search of some new sounds (like Martin L Gore of Depeche Mode, he is known to be a huge collectioner of soviet synths). Some people just collect them to put like a "museum artifact" or get it onstage for certain look (like Rammsteins keyboardist on their last tour). Some buy it just as an element of design... to nail it to the wall e.t.c. )) (like my friend from Sweden did in his recording studio specialising on industrial & noise music & which is designed in cold-war\totalitarian-era style )) In any case - this is original! There whould never be soviet synthesizers anymore.
OK, It seems to me that i flooded the floor ))
Alright, back to the topic - the above mentioned Keytar is sold. Right now on e-bay I have a "Pif" synth (VINTAGE SOVIET ANALOG SYNTHESIZER "PIF" (USSR,Russian Synth) (RARE) | eBay). It looks like a toy (it seems to me that it was intended to be a toy in Ussr) BUT... when you plug it... OMG - it is a jaw-crushing analog monophonic synthesizer which sound like someone been chainsawed. Here are demos: http://www.stelsi.com/add/Pif%20Demo%20Track.mp3

And how the hell this dog (from th FRENCH comic book by the way!!!!) got there?!!! - Still a mystery!

OK, thanks for attention! Hope my small "disclamer" will be interesting.
