I did some research and used Google Translator with a Russian vacuum cleaner site... So, in the Soviet Union the mass production of vacuum cleaners began in 1952. The first model received a symbolic name - "Pioneer". In the same year “Dnepr” appeared. It became an indispensable assistant in many families. The Dnepropetrovsk vacuum cleaner, looked very much like a Swedish Electrolux. But Soviet consumers did not know this. The same plant in Dnepropetrovsk produced several more brands of vacuum cleaners. Among them are “The Seagull”, “Whirlwind”, “Buran” and, of course, the most famous “Rocket” («Chayka», «Vikhr'», «Buran», «Raketa»).

All products were made by hand, only high-quality metal was used. Testing was conducted very carefully. It was believed that if the "Rocket" to throw from the 8th floor, it will still work. This legend or fact is hard to say, but the durability and reliability of these vacuum cleaners deserves admiration.
