Radiola network lamp "Kremlin" in 1956 was developed by the Riga State Electrotechnical Plant VEF. By the beginning of 1956, the VEF plant had developed a number of receivers and radiometers on finger lamps of various designs and parameters. Some of the units and the chassis of these devices were unified. All devices had a "fashionable" key switch, a rotatable internal magnetic antenna, and an internal dipole, if the VHF range is provided. Receivers and class III radio signals had 2 speakers, class II and above four each. The names of the new devices were represented by precious stones: Diamond, Amethyst, Aquamarine, Crystal, Ruby, Sapphire, Topaz, Amber. There was a river series: Cupid, Angara, Terek, Dvina and musical series: Concert, Melody, Symphony. There were other names. Some of the samples were transferred for production to other plants of the USSR, some were made only by an experimental batch. In the factory newspaper Vefietis (VEFovets) at the end of 1955 it was reported that the task of the Ministry of the radio engineering industry of the USSR about the development of 15 models of radio engineering equipment and the manufacture of their prototypes by the designers of the WEF was completed. Most of the developed devices were demonstrated at the 1958 World's Fair in Brussels, they were awarded prizes. Many developments were shown the following year at an exhibition in New York (1959). Since 1956 and subsequently, the development of about a dozen prospective radio receivers and radios has been continued, including the presented radioloule "Kremlin". Radiola top class "Kremlin" was a prototype and made only a few copies.
