The release of the radio was a rather significant event in the mid-fifties in the USSR.
,86e6f450b8cc469628ba70bf2947b049
The receiver did not fit into the usual line of models of dull and gray receivers and radios in wooden cases, like twins similar to each other and not changing in design over the years.
,86e6f450b8cc469628ba70bf2947b049
The mass media, mainly in newspaper and magazine editions of those years, very effectively described the appearance of the Zvezda-54 radio set as a huge breakthrough in design design, as the latest squeak of fashion, which gave people hope of a new, bright life.
,86e6f450b8cc469628ba70bf2947b049
In fact, everything was much simpler and more prosaic.
,86e6f450b8cc469628ba70bf2947b049
The Zvezda-54 radio is a complete copy of the 1952 French Excelsior-52 radio.
,86e6f450b8cc469628ba70bf2947b049
It is not exactly established how the French receiver got into the IRPA.
,86e6f450b8cc469628ba70bf2947b049
According to some reports, it was brought as a gift by diplomats who visited France in 1952 on the issue of Austrian independence.
,86e6f450b8cc469628ba70bf2947b049
According to another version, the radio was specially purchased for copying and release by order of the top management.
,86e6f450b8cc469628ba70bf2947b049
Another touch related to the release of a radio receiver: In the post-war years, the government of the USSR made a decision providing for the production of consumer goods by defense enterprises of the USSR, along with special products.
,86e6f450b8cc469628ba70bf2947b049
In accordance with this, since 1952, the A.S. Popov All-Union Scientific Research Institute of Radio Broadcasting and Acoustics, abbreviated as "IRPA", together with the "Kommunar" plant (Kharkov, Ukraine), began the development and preparation of the conveyor for serial production

radio receiver `` Zvezda-54 ''.
,86e6f450b8cc469628ba70bf2947b049
In 1954, the production of the receiver was simultaneously transferred to the Mospribor plant (formerly a bicycle plant).
,86e6f450b8cc469628ba70bf2947b049
In the third quarter of 1954, the radio was upgraded.
,86e6f450b8cc469628ba70bf2947b049
The modernization affected the chassis of the model, which became vertical, to facilitate technological processes and expand the color range of the case (red and green, there were no other colors).
,86e6f450b8cc469628ba70bf2947b049
,null,ru,null,null,null,nullBoth versions, modernized and conventional in cases of two colors, were also produced by both factories in parallel, but much more receivers in the red case were produced.
,86e6f450b8cc469628ba70bf2947b049
In total, and the model was produced from 1954 to 1959, 674,000 Zvezda-54 receivers were produced by two factories.

The ISh logo on the back cover or in the manual of the device is often confusing.
,86e6f450b8cc469628ba70bf2947b049
ISH is a consumer goods product.
,86e6f450b8cc469628ba70bf2947b049
The "Zvezda-54" radio receiver was developed by the Institute of Broadcasting Reception and Acoustics "IRPA" MRTP USSR.
,86e6f450b8cc469628ba70bf2947b049
It has an unusual, attractive appearance, which was considered the limit of perfection of designers (decorators) of those years.
,86e6f450b8cc469628ba70bf2947b049
