Notes...
My example of this machine came to me by way of Jacek in Poland. It's great fun opening a package full of (unknown) machines and seeing them for the first time. This one was totally unexpected :) Thanks, Jacek!

Iskra 210
The slot on the side is an interesting expansion port!

Iskra means "spark".
Close-up of display digit. |
The machine displays 12 digits and has an additional sign tube on the left, giving 13 tubes altogether. The display type is vacuum fluorescent tubes. The calculator works from the using a fixed comma.
The position of a comma is set after reset by pressing the key [+]
the required number of times. At each pressing of the key [+], the comma is
displaced on one position to the left.
The slot on the side seems to be an extension port for the keyboard. I am guessing that this machine came with an extensible keypad, possibly for mounting in commercial situations where the keyboard would be removed from the display. Fascinating, though!
The two styles shown here are probably of the same machine (the keyboards are definitely identical), though it is currently unknown if the lower one has the expansion port.
 
An interesting (probably early) design variant.
