GB THREAD: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=104415.0

I hereby present GMK Perestroika (Перестройка) to you.

The rich dark red colour is a standout feature of this set. Its Cyrillic alphas give the set a unique aesthetic and are a nod to its name, Perestroika, which points to connotations of reformation and openness. In the same way, I hope its users will be empowered to be more daring - to unleash new ways of thinking and working when using the set.

Kits

The blend of beautiful Cyrillic and English characters is unique and symbolises the two-way thinking that made room for a new way of life in Russia. Just maybe, the kit could inspire you to try a new way of working.
This kit is large and includes numpad support and ISO support, making it a great choice for a variety of layouts.

Not feeling the Cyrillics? Have no fear, you can convert the kit to be fully English (US/UK). Just like Gorbachev, the set strives to provide for the masses.
During the interest check, it was clear that it would be beneficial to create this, and so it’s ultimately the community’s kit.

For those among us who don’t fit the mould - this kit is for you. It covers the more unusual layouts, such as 40% and split.
After all, some of history’s greatest milestones were achieved by folks who did things a little differently.

For the people who want it even more modern than the base kit. The Modern Kit covers a 60% keyboard layout to achieve a smart uniform look without the use of English legends.
Forward-thinkers, we salute you.

Colours

Alphas and mods - RAL 3005 (Wine Red)
Legends - RAL 9001 (Cream)

The colours speak from themselves - a rich Wine Red and Cream.
If you want to get creative about it; try imagining a bowl of steaming Borscht soup, vibrant red, with a dollop of sour cream on top. Mmm.

A colour-match made in heaven and sure to look great on a variety of keyboards.

Fine work. I'll buy.

Are those all of the kits? Any novelties incoming?

Bleddyn · « **Reply #6 on:** Wed, 02 October 2019, 08:38:41 »

Loving seeing this out there, even more so on the AKB-OGR. Big love.

TheArcticFox_27 · « **Reply #7 on:** Wed, 02 October 2019, 08:40:46 »

Love the theme and the color, but please fix the |\ and tab, that doesn't go very well with the set. Also your 910 has wrong caps...

Vigrith · « **Reply #8 on:** Wed, 02 October 2019, 08:40:50 »

Love finally seeing T0mb3ry's amazing Cyrillic mono alphas be put to use. Great set, definitely a buy.

kriscables · « **Reply #9 on:** Wed, 02 October 2019, 08:42:29 »

Renders are absolute fantastic.
Very solid base kit, which has more keys than usual.
Count me in !

Luciqueii · « **Reply #10 on:** Wed, 02 October 2019, 08:51:17 »

Finally, a real Russian set... looking forward to some nice novelties.

audiosl4ve · « **Reply #11 on:** Wed, 02 October 2019, 08:55:09 »

Do i see right or are those centered icons?

mrpetrov · « **Reply #12 on:** Wed, 02 October 2019, 08:56:17 »

vicissitude · « **Reply #14 on:** Wed, 02 October 2019, 09:14:07 »

Nice.
But why are the function keys still English not Russian?

AfroMax · « **Reply #15 on:** Wed, 02 October 2019, 09:17:33 »

a english russian kit would be nice

I don't have any plans for novelties, but if there's demand I'll consider it.

There's no GMK molds for that, so that would mean extra mold costs. As I'd like a big base kit, this would mean it'd become too expensive.

Correct, icons are centered.

Agilr · « **Reply #19 on:** Wed, 02 October 2019, 09:48:20 »

Centered icons I find quite strange imo, but other than that it's a nice set

Looking forward to updates

konstantin · « **Reply #20 on:** Wed, 02 October 2019, 09:52:10 »

Молодец! This would be perfect for combining with Yugo — Perestroika mods and Yugo alphas would look sick

octix · « **Reply #21 on:** Wed, 02 October 2019, 09:54:13 »

Wow. The renders!

LXVRGS · « **Reply #22 on:** Wed, 02 October 2019, 10:05:45 »

Those legends are so good, love the deep red color too. Definitely in for a base.

konstantin · « **Reply #23 on:** Wed, 02 October 2019, 10:12:18 »

+1 for the centered icon mods. However, I don't like the single-arrow Tab. Please consider putting a regular icon tab in the base kit and moving the new one to the modern kit.

Very good suggestion, thank you! I'll give it a thought.

rrsurmeier · « **Reply #25 on:** Wed, 02 October 2019, 10:21:02 »

I get the uniform look, but i think that a yellow/gold ascent color would look cool.

this looks хороший.

it's like crimson cadet but actually crimson and actually russian

Can we get any hiragana sublegends? I'm 100% sure there are Japanese that live in Russia. Maybe they would appreciate it!

the pipe key is where both slashes are on a Cyrillic keyboard, so no those are right

**SOVIET RUSSIA INTENSIFIES**

Created by not "born in USSR" builders again

... we need to go little deeper with this idea.
IMO this one looks much better, than recent misconception of jtk vostok.

Нам нужен настоящий социалистический сет, от дизайнера, рожденного в СССР, я даже знаю кто бы смог по настоящему взрорвать тему)

Send a PM to the designer letting them know what is incorrect so they can fix it to be a proper Russian set. Being proactive is much more constructive than bellyaching about it. Also I highly doubt any of the designers would say no to having an actual Russian citizen help them make the set as it should be for proper Russian.

arrowM · « **Reply #39 on:** Wed, 02 October 2019, 18:06:59 »

This is really nice set! Count me in.

I must insist receiving a free set, all variants.

You can send them to my dacha in Kiev.

After all, there would be no perestroika without me.

This is a really good red color. Wonder how it would be on U80a port....

Any of my 40's/ortho friends who dont use 2.25 2.75u split bars and want the rest of the extension kit, I'm up for splitting again.
