I remember that I assembled the Novosibirsk variant of Speccy (its PCBs were produced illegally at the Krasnoyarsk television factory). The boards I had bought were produced in 1989. After a few years, I acquired Scorpion 256 KB (with the boards shipped from outside). I bought one at the radio market, ready with the disk drive. There also were popular boards of Leningrad 48 and 128, Pentagon, Profi. The native Krasnoyarsk variant was a 48K made at Krasmash, in a metallic (aluminium?) milled case around 20õ20õ2 (or 22x22x2) cm, painted grey (maybe with enamel). I don't know what kind of scheme was inside. It was ordered for production at Krasmash and sold by Sergey Petrov. He also had one of largest Speccy software collections and the circulation. He quit the Spectrum market one of the first, when he switched to game consoles.
I don't remember if my collection contains these clones in the hardware section. I couldn't find now. I haven't even photographed my computers. I only photographed the scheme of Novosibirsk variant - a big sheet in several photos in the collection.

The Krasmash variant was possibly the only Speccy mass-produced in Krasnoyarsk in the 80's. This clone was one of the first at the Krasnoyarsk radio market, almost simultaneously with Novosibirsk variant. We bought one unit in 1989, for Fyodorov's eye clinic.
We had a small cooperative of three people. I don't remember the price.
I also don't remember the price of my Scorpion 256. By that time, there were a lot of 128K machines.
The chips were shipped from Moscow on planes. The boards were possibly copied in Krasnoyarsk.
Pentagon 128 was popular, but I haven't bought one. Somebody even assembled Profi 1024.
From the scheme, I assembled a tape reader that worked very well.
Alexander Stupakov was the biggest vendor after Sergey Petrov. He started to bring the chipsets, then complete Scorpions. I bought mine from him. 
Now I can't ask anybody - I live in another city.

The radio market appeared in late 80's spontaneously, near the company store of "Melodia". When a house was to be built there, the radio market also spontaneously moved to the asphalt square just before the store. Then they drove the radio amateurs to the square behind the circus. And finally even farther, to the former motor depot, where the radio market still exists.
In the beginning, I bought software at the radio market, mostly from Sergey Petrov. However, his packs were not thematic. When I had enough software and no job, I started to make thematic sets on tapes, then on disks. This started approximately in 1990, and ended at the 1th January of 2000. After that, I concerned myself only with the CD collection, that later became DVD, then many DVDs. I made Fidonet collections (hard to find: NZXS3701/SOFTWARE/DOS/TR-DOS/TRD/ZXFIDO) from 1997 to 2001. Nearby directories contain photos and images of my other collections.
As for commercial software. The authors tried to sell software, but there was no commercial demand. They gave me software for spreading, just to be famous. Maybe until 1997 or 1998? Most likely, after 1998, because of more information available about Speccy programming, a new generation of programmers appeared that started to write Speccy software. The old authors mostly wrote for themselves.

To be more precise, Sergey Petrov seemed to bring software from Moscow. Everybody did then. When he quit, all his software went to Alexander Stupakov, who was engaged in Spectrum hardware for long time (DIY sets of PCB + chipset, that he most likely brought from Moscow and Saint-Petersburg). When Alexander quit, all this collection came to me, although I already had a lot of software. I collected all the Speccy software collections that people brought to me. All of them are located in my ZX archive under the names or nicknames of their authors or who brought them. All the disks in the collections are left unchanged, I only transferred them from real floppies to TRD or TD0 images. There are such collections from Krasnoyarsk:
 
ROWSAN - 152Mb (in TD0 and TDI);
VBV - 394Mb (my disk collection, collections of LSA-Sergey Lankin; Sergey Petrov; Alexander Stupakov; Rowsan-Sergey Romanov; Stas; AVO-Andrey Ovtchinnikov - the composer is fully sorted in "Nostalgia");

Here is also my advertisement table that I used at the balka. I varnished it against the rain. New software was shown as disks and tapes separately. I photographed it before it went unreadable.
