This sucks...

Kiev, Ukraine [Russian KOI-8R is below]
Dear friends and kievaholiks.
It is pity to inform that after 245 year the ARSENAL factory (Zavod
ARSENAL in Russian) is lost. After many judicial proceedings now we
have the Special Construction Department (SKTB in Russian) instead of
ARSENAL factory. The factory management, including the director of
factory, are totally changed. The workers are discharges, all
manufacturing is stopped, the factory storehouse is empty.
The good news is that we have bought the medium format cameras and
parts for several years of works and we'll keep our business running
at least 4-5 years more. So, you'll have ability to buy ARAX cameras
as usually with our one year worldwide warranty. In any case, you
will never be left alone with a problem from your ARAX cameras many
many many years.
Sincerely
Gevorg Vartanyan,
