From the seller's notes
This Soviet transistor radio is a Rossiya 303 (Россия-303), a portable receiver covering medium wave, long wave and two shortwave bands. It was made in 1988, which is confirmed by the production stamp inside the battery compartment. With its silver-tone faceplate, carrying handle and telescopic antenna, it is a typical late-USSR portable radio for collectors of Soviet electronics.
