Soviet typewriter font?

Hi, all,

Can anyone point me in the right direction to a Soviet typewriter font? By
that I mean the oversize "bulky" fonts typical of Soviet typewriters as
opposed to the cleaner and smaller Cyrillic fonts found on typewriters
manufactured in the West (e.g. Olivetti, Remington). From the best that I
can measure, the font is question was 12 points, maybe 13, and 9 pitch (9
characters to the inch). I can find plenty of Western typewriter fonts that
contain Cyrillic, but none that imitate a Soviet typewriter. A font that, in
addition, looks smudgy would be ideal.

Any clues would be appreciated.
