Description:
Came to me from a retired streetcar driver. It had no protective case, so I bought a beat-up Ortekh (with case) just to have a home for Moskva.
Moskva 5/6/7 models' appearance resemble Smith-Corona of mid-1950s. Though, I believe that typing experience on SC would be completely different. Moskva is just another soviet typewriter, with generally low quality and heavy carriage shifting.
No tabulator, no colour selector, no touch control, but interchangeable carriages. Wide-carriage model was numbered 7 and appears to be quite rare now. I've seen one of them, but wide M7 carriage was already replaced with standard one.

Slowly tracking back a complicated history of Soviet typewriters.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Moskva 6 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Moskva Serial Number page and the Moskva 6 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
