Vostok .22 LR Rimfire Cartridges

This packaging shows a vintage box of Soviet-era rimfire cartridges (typically caliber .22 LR / 5.6 mm sport/hunting ammunition), bearing the Russian inscriptions 'НЕОРЖАВЛЯЮЩИЕ' (non-corrosive), 'Опасны на 1,5 км.' (dangerous up to 1.5 km), and 'СДЕЛАНО В СССР' (Made in USSR).

During the Soviet era, sporting and hunting ammunition was produced by state-run enterprises such as the Klimovsk Specialized Ammunition Plant (KSPZ) or the Vostok production union under state authority. For international export, these cartridges were traditionally marketed under the state export trade brand 'Vostok' (Восток). The manufacturing country was the former Soviet Union (USSR).
