Konstruktor(22) / Konstruktor-Mekhanik[2] / Konstruktor-Shkol'nik

Konstruktor(22) together with Konstruktor-Mekhanik[2] and Konstruktor-Shkolnik is a construction system made in Russia by the Moscow Factory of Mechanical Toys - MZMZI (Московский завод механической игрушки - МЗМЗИ) from at least the early 1950s to the late 1970s. To avoid confusion the three names given to this system should rationalised under Konstruktor(22) as it is all one constructional system but with different set ranges over the years.

Copies of some these sets were released at a later date by Vinnytsia Auto Electrical Equipment Plant - VZA (Винницкий завод Автоэлектроаппаратуры (ВЗА)). These sets were virtually identical to the Moscow factory sets with very similar manuals, so are being included here. Was this an associated company?
