I can't help it - must post
I realize that most people here will have no idea what's going on. But I must post it for those few who will appreciate it.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I present ....
Random Card from St.Petersburg Public Library Catalog. (oops, it's actually the Central Library in Moscow. One step up - THE library in Russia, much like the Library of Congress here)
From 19th century to our times.
Refresh and see what luck brings you.

Here is my sequence:

Valiev, Hatam Vakhidovich and Padzerski, Vladimir Andreivich. "Introduction to Elementary Particle Physics". Tashkent, "Ukitkuvchi". 1968
TzNII (Central Scientific Research Institute) of Dendric (my attempt to translate "Lubianyi" - an archaic Russian word meaning "wooden") Fibers Industry. In 1988, it was reformed into TzNII of Systemic Automatization for Light Industry.
Temporary Method for Calculating Ventilation of Underground Workspaces when Working with Diesel Equipment. Promulgated (Accepted?) by State Committee of Soviet of Ministers of Kazakh SSR for oversight of safe conduct of work in industry and mining oversight (this same card mentions GlavTzvetMetNIIIProect and All-Union Scientific Research Mining-Metallrgic Institute of Light Metals)
Repair and metal work 1957(theme #15) (I guess that would be a theme for some sort of thesis, but I may be wrong)

Interesting.
Do Russian typewriters have the special character "No.", meaning "number", using the Latin version of the letter "N"?
It's more like unpredictable than random index cards. I've looked at a dozen or so index cards and have seen Alma Atta (in Kazakhastan) mentioned 3 times.

Should be.
I would say it's just a gender difference based on the associated noun.

Re: extremely intersting, is Lubianyi root for Lubianka?
Lubianka was a very old street in Moscow where some Russian insurance company built its headquarters, so the answer is probably yes.
