Here is a delightful looking Soviet vacuuming device, likely used by Ninotchka after having been dragged back to Mother Russia and forced to clean her Kommisar's apartment. Good design, notice the Soviet turquoise wand and attachment.

Used on all their Space Stations as standard, also came in Orange.

I noticed that too, of course, but wouldn't that cause a problem, having a vacuum in space, since space is a vacuum?

*thwack*

They'd of course be used inside the space station for cleaning dust and crumbs out of electronic equipment :P last thing you need is the thing that supplies you with OXYGEN screwing up :P

Of course with the fact they're on a space station they would end up breathing in "ye olde canister vac exhaust" :P

I wasn't sure if they used it to clean the outside stuff like the exhaust ports or the trimwork, things get so dirty blasting off up into space and such! ;->

Seriously though, what kind of doing would it take to operate a household appliance in a space station? I would think they would need a more specialized unit up there. Like maybe a Dust Buster.

Well, you must remember the Soviet mentality, Alan ;]

Nasa spent millions making a pen that wouldn't lose it's ink in Zero G for use by astronauts..

The Soviets used a pencil.

You know where I'm going with this? :P

It is indeed a civilian model, as well.

The company was called Raketa (sort of looks like Paketa in cyrillic) or Rocket in English, still makes vacuum cleaners today.
