You can kitbuild a Radio-86RK from modern parts.

Iskra was Yugoslavian, not Soviet. They had a design called the Triglav that I find pretty interesting. Yugoslavian computing’s a fascinating ecosystem in general - owing to the lack of sanctions relative to the Soviet Union, they had access to a lot more western tech. The Galaksija was a modest-if-modern z80 kit computer while the Radio-86RK used a 8080 compatible CPU. (Ten year old tech at that point)
