Cheap?  I think not - and "pastiche" might be better than "fake", as the
'artist' has included so many "features" as to be completely unbelievable.

Best I can tell it's a Zorki 4B with the Industar-26M lens from a FED -
which would be 52mm rather than 50mm, but who cares?

Spray painted with 'demobilized' paint from the Army depot.
