I thought this was rather interesting from a technology perspective. But it also gives some sharp commentary on practical communism during the 70's and 80's. That communism's technology progressed very badly, unless it could steal or import from the West. Plenty of photos. It's kinda like a demented alternative reality of US and Western European technology of the time period.
Also gives you some ideas of how post-apocalyptic technology would work.
