Russian & East European Tube Factory Logos

Hi,

I was attending to my stock of tubes, especially a bunch of them that I picked-up in Ukraine on a visit last spring.
Sorting, finding spec's and putting them into my database left me with some questions as to who produced them.
There is a file with tube factory logos circulating the web, but it's not very complete. At least I have some tube-markings that can't be found in it.
So I started searching for info on the subject and here is what I've come up with so far.
Somethings are evident and there for the completeness; other info is new. Well, to me at least.
Hopefully you will gain from this list.
Feel free to correct or suggest additions.

During my search for logos I stumbled over a Russian book from where this attached file is taken.
What I found out during this investigation is that there is REALLY a LOT of vintage Russian books on tube-subjects that may be freely downloaded from all over the place.
All written in Russian using the Cyrillic alphabet, naturally.
Somewhat of a challenge 🙂

The attached file is the most complete info I've ever found covering Russian electronics plants. Hopefully it'll be of use to someone.

You're right. I've changed it and plan to update the file a bit in a couple of days based on more new info I've had.
Then I'll upload the new file reflecting the correct latin spelling of ОРЗЭЛ.
I suppose I just didn't pay attention well enough. After all the Russian L (Л) and P (П) are easily confused.
