All these "new" findings prove us, that all (or almost all) soviet commemorative cameras had special boxes or inserts indeed.
Bill have showed us the genuine box for Fed-1 "300 years friendship with Moscow...", I do possess few more boxes, including Smena-8 "Great October-50", Fed-3 "Great October-50", MF Kiev "Kiev-1500", Zenit-122 Special edition "KMZ-50",etc. Now we have an authentic box for Festival camera too.

Collectig of commemorative boxes is same attractive as cameras itselves.

Best Regards,
Aidas
