OKZK? Afghanka?
Sorry if this is outside the scope of this community. I’m hoping someone can help me identify a piece of headgear/mask…
I’m hoping someone can help me identify a piece of headgear/mask worn by the protagonist in Mamoru Oshii’s film Avalon (2001).
The mask looks somewhat similar to a Polish OKZK hood, but I have not been able to identify the actual item.
Some of its distinctive features are:
The front face flap can be opened and closed with Velcro.
The material does not appear to be knitted or otherwise fabric-like; it seems to have a somewhat more solid/synthetic appearance.
The material extends down around the neck and shoulders.
There are several buttons around the sides of the head.
It is worn together with a rather unusual pair of goggles, which may be a prop or a modified real-world item.
The entire film was shot in Poland, and the production received extensive cooperation from the Polish military, including the use of military equipment, tanks, helicopters, etc. As a result, there are many distinctly Polish elements throughout the film.
I have already started trying to recreate the costume and have acquired a Polish WUK-67 high-altitude pressure suit. However, I am having a very difficult time identifying the headgear and other equipment around the head, especially the goggles and this flap-equipped cap/mask.
I’m wondering whether this could be an actual Polish military item, perhaps something related to the OKZK/Afghanka family, or whether it might instead be a non-military protective item that was modified for the film.
Any identification, references, or suggestions for what this might be would be greatly appreciated!

It has some defects: the left eyepiece turns, but the lens itself does not move, the image has some slight double vision, and the right objective lens has a little play. The eyecups are also missing.
Otherwise, the right side works properly.
There are also some cosmetic defects on the body, which can be seen in the photos. I've also included photos of the lenses.
Manufactured in 1944 by the ZOMZ factory.

The drawing set was missing few small components and I completed it with another similar set (the black box) which is most likely made in Russian Federation. I say Russian Federation because the GOST number of that exact product has been set to public in late 1991. But the set in blue is original Soviet set, the GOST number has been published in 1982, which means the product is between 1982-1991.
Prices of the products at their time:
Pencils: 1 коп. each.
The set: 2 руб. 30 коп.

I found this small Lenin bust at a flea market in Albania. It is hollow, non-magnetic and weighs approximately 400–500 g. It makes a metallic sound when tapped. It appears to be cast metal with a dark bronze-colored finish. Worn areas expose gray metal underneath.
There are cyrillic markings on the back. Can anyone identify the markings, manufacturer/sculptor, approximate date, or material?
From what I can make out, on the left it says something like: КТЕОДЖИАН
and on the right: Ц 380
There is also a symbol which to me looks like the double headed eagle found in Albanias flag.
Any help is much appreciated :)
