Hi all,

Kiev happens to be the capital of Ukraine, which is obviously another
country altogether; And the name of the camera comes from the name of the
city and the cameras are indeed made in the same city!
So some of the "Russian" cameras are actually Ukrainian!!

Yeltsin may want to  give away something Russian like Lubitel or Leningrad
or so on!!
