I've noticed a couple of Russian made vacuums on eBay that look like the above brands. Anyone know any back story on these machines?

Do you have any pics. I have seen Russian vacuums but closest United States vacuum was old metro hand vacuums. I'd like to see the vacuums. They usually have Russian writing on them.

I think he means the "Москва" (Moscow). It does look like a Lewyt Model 55.

There is a great blog page here that has a documentation of most of them. No text or information or anything, just photos.
