Yes it is really made in "La Rodina". That's why it looks like it was made like a tank. Hell, it was probably made from a tank, one of the ones the Nazis left lying about everywhere!

Parts & service for Russian/Soviet optics are always problematic. This was true back in the '60's & is still true today. I have no doubt it will still be true in the 2060's as well, The concept of "build it to last foreve & no support is needed" is ingrained into Soviet/Russian industry & I don't see it changing any time soon.
