Soviet Helmet WW2?

[Jimmeelegs]

Hey guys, I just purchased a Russian helmet( not gonna day the price, wanna see what you guys think). I want to show you guys it, so you can help me identify it so i know it’s history. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

First of all it says 1980 (or 1986?) so how would you ever think it could be WW2?? Besides that it doesn't even look like a WW2 helmet.
Can't tell which model this is, I am not familiar with modern/more recent Soviet helmets. All I can say is that this is definitely not WW2.

Question to the experienced helmet collectors: could this be a Czech helmet? Because of the liner?

So jimmeelegs, What did you pay for that Bulgarian helmet?
Hopefully the site above can help you identify a soviet helmet for your search.
