Belair Cameras and Lenses

Does anyone know whether the Belair cameras sold by the Lomographic Society (Lomography Shop) is made in Russia? The additional lenses appear from the packaging to be made there.

I was pretty sure that Lomographic Society is contracted with some manufacture unit in China to make these...

These two images appear to show that the lenses for the Belair camera are indeed made in Russia.

Presumably, the cameras are made in China and the additional lenses made in Russia.
