Reflector (Saratov), 03/1968. A great single triode. High frequency, high-Gm, high-Mu, low noise. You won't believe it looking at it - the plate assembly is tiny, half the size of 12AX7 or 6N2P plate, how did they squeeze all that juice there? But it has the guts indeed. The catch: 8pF input capacitance and only 160V rated plate voltage. The twin tube, 6S4P, has the same DC anf gain specs, but different capacitances: very low grid-to-plate (0.2pF) yet very high input (13pF). Tradeoffs everywhere...

Unlike the other ('civilian' without E-suffix) 6S3P, this one is closer to specs
