40 years of beauty up front, that's the tradeoff.
Was there anything "Russian" not yet banned?
Took in a half dozen cases of both Wolf and Tula last month, they needed a new home, and the price was right. None of my firearms are picky eaters, as that would be intolerable, and they get cleaned well after every range outing.
On a Russian related note, I'm about to dump a fire breathing ,concussion inducing M44 and a CRATE+ of steel core 7.62x54 on the market. My shoulder just won't take that kind of abuse all day long anymore. If target is within 6 feet, the spike bayonet may impale them after the concussion and noise deafens and blinds them, or the bonus fireball it creates may do the trick. It was fun when I was younger, but not so much these days.
Getting non-Russian 5.45 for the '74 has become a bit more challenging the last couple of years. Now THAT is a fun little rifle to shoot. I wish I had my current income when ammo for it was still importable. I would have filled a room with cases of it.
My Astra razor blades are also Russian, but since I am growing out a beard to make Santa envious, they'll remain in the case until I need them. I always bought those in bulk, and have enough for years. They're still available.
I wonder what the price of my spare Russian Sovtek amp tubes are going to do price-wise. When I ran across those, I also bought a spare set. Should hold me over until I'm in the grave. They're fantastic, and still available on shelves for now.

LOL, wow...didn't even think about that. I have a set in an amp I was planning to sell and some spare Fender-rebranded Sovteks. Good thing I was lazy about selling them. The Silicon Valley Woke Mafia who run eBay will probably ban the selling of them soon, though.
Putin is sure to surrender now:
