Listvitsa is a typewriter model that was produced at the Luhansk Machine Tool Plant that was located in the city of Luhansk in the Ukranian SSR during 1980s. Comparing to other USSR-produced typewriters, this machine has a much higher level of quality and a better typefeel.
This typewriter was only produced with a wide carriage option that was not only used for typing your usual texts, but also for filling in spreadsheets thanks to the decimal tabulator, that is located above the number row on the keyboard. It allowed for the user to choose the register of a number they want to write and the carriage would stop some characters before the actual tabulating stop so that the user would have space to write the number they wanted to write.
The outer shell of Listvitsas were produced in at least two colors. The most common one were the grey colored ones, but light-blue housings are too pretty widespread. All the colors, however, had black keytops installed.
