Click a thumbnail to see its larger version and description.
A soviet-made version of the ten billion barrel.

Obviously the soviet union copied the ten billion barrel. More is unknown so far. There are at least four different variants of packagings.
Image 4 shows one package.
Images 5-7 show a plastic dome similar to the japanese one.
Images 8-9 show a black cousin of the latter.
Image 10 shows a reddish plastic dome with the same markings.
Images 11-12 show another plastic dome with the logo of the "World Festival of Youth and Students" for which it must have been produced or at least reproduced.
Images 13-16 shows a black body with its package that combines top and bottom of other variants.
Image 17 shows a simple plastic bag as package.

The original price is based on the official exchange rate (0.6 roubles per dollar) although in socialist time this was completely theoretical. The price (in roubles) is visible on the bottom of the package.
