The Soviet Union had, on a small scale, a domestic production of video and arcade games. Tetris, is, of course, the most famous Soviet video game, if not the most successful cultural export of the Soviet Union. Many of these games are playable at the Museum of Soviet Video Games, which has locations in Moscow and St. Petersburg.
This particular arcade game tested players' strength. It simulates the motion of pulling up turnips and takes its inspiration from a Russian folktale about an entire family harvesting an especially massive turnip.
You can see photos of other Soviet arcade games at this 2019 post from the Arcade Blogger.
