I think you are right. It was the Soviet way of fighting inflation, gouging, and some varieties of corruption. I have seen Soviet hand tools with a price stamped on them.
The only thing is Soviet people didn't really like putting English language and letters on their products. Everything from little transistor to the fridge marked only with Cyrillic.
Truly fantastic job, Bill! The combination for that Russian padlock happened to be P 0 Ш Я. I remember it as "POWER". The combo will be on one of the key tags located inside the bank bag. I used varying angles of lighting, different colored lighting, and magnification to reveal the name stamped on the lock. See combo tag for that information. Right smack beside the Russian is the American 1100 with stock bitting. The only enhancement being my population of the 6th pin chamber (likely riding the key tip), swapping standard key pins out for serrated where applicable, and swapping standard drivers out for serrated or spools. Soon it will be time to find out who protected better: Russia vs. America!!!
You're the dude that made this box ? That's been so much fun to watch bill take care of it. We get to learn so much. Thanks for sending him this box for us to enjoy
@@Jason_Music Yes...Thanks for tuning in. It was a surprise delivery for all Bill has done and continues to do for the locksport community. All of the locking devices are stock and from my extensive private collection. Besides the surprising contents of the box, I figured the best thing I could give him was the gift of content. So it's the gift that keeps on giving. This also allows the locks to be shared with thousands of people and we all get to learn while having fun. I assure you that I'm on the edge of my seat right along with everyone else and I can't wait to see the box opened!
You saw it here first folks, the jiggling technique! Well done sir. I would have had no idea what to do with that thing. As usual great video, looking forward to the next one.
Can't get any better than a little jiggle! Just the right amount :-) definitely cool to see the thought process when going after some alien tech. Thanks Bill!
1296 possible combinations, so pretty much like many 3-digit combination locks on attaché cases, with 1,000 combinations. A few minutes with little skill opens them. This must be the easy lock on this side of the box.
The combination looks like РОЩЯ or РОЩА which is Russian for like when you plant trees to grow food. We call it "Lund" in Danish. Google translate says English is "Grove", but I don't know that word or if that is correct.
In Soviet Russia, you don't lock lock. Lock locks you! Upside down L is Gama or G. Cyrillic used some Greek, and some weird Russo-Slavic letters. P is pi. An actual P in Cyrillic is actually an R, C's are Ss and you would spell "cat" with a K.
The password you found probably was, at some point, meant to spell *Р О Щ А* [rosh - sha] - _a grove_ But the mechanism lost any semblance of precision so now it's *Р|А О Щ А|Я*
I laughed out loud when I saw the combination that opened the lock. Р О Щ Я which in the Latin alphabet is 'R' 'O' 'Sh' 'Ya' - try saying it aloud. Bit of a clue there I think ;-)
It's hilarious to hear you mangling the Cyrillic alphabet. 'ИДПТ' (which looks like the unlock code) is roughly 'IDPT', or 'EDPT' with И pronounced like 'ee'. It's confusing at first, because of the variants of our 'E'. There are 'И', 'Й', 'Е', 'Ë', 'Э' and 'Ы', all of which are pronounced differently'. A few other letters can be really confusing. For example, and in no particular order, 'С' is 'S', 'Р' is 'R', so you have 'CCCP' which is 'SSSR', or in English, 'USSR', since the first word is 'Союз' (Soyuz'), meaning 'Union'. Others of note are 'Н', which is 'N', 'Г' is 'G', 'В' is 'V', 'Б' is 'B', 'З' is 'Z', and the last letter of the alphabet is 'Я', pronounced 'Ya'. It's worth learning the Cyrillic alphabet, because it will help tremendously with understanding some of the names and labelling on locks. You (or was it LPL?) had a Bulgarian lock some time ago and the Cyrillic on the label in the package was mostly easy to understand, even if you don't know any Bulgarian. There was also a Russian lock, a few years ago, which caused some confusion, but which was fairly obvious to those who could read the alphabet. Anyhow, this is a long post, so apologies! Thanks, Bill, for the fascinating 'Treasure Chest' series. The anticipation builds! Maybe that’s where you'll find the keys. 😉
Lpl did a video on one of these a while back. He dint seem to have 2 much trouble. But of course he is the lockpickinglawyer so the fact that he opened it is no indication of difficulty .
Lol The thumbnail read like That to me too. I used to get the same effect from old Clint Eastwood movie posters too, where the L and the I joined to form a U..........
@@TheButchersbLock well in a really free spelling ^^ first 2 letters are R and O the next one thats like W is like 3 letters TSS and last one thats like R it sounds like IA so its something like ROTSSIA :)
Aside from the jiggle attack, four Base 8 dials provide only 4,096 possible combinations, which can be brute-force attacked in about an hour. If the KGB ever used these locks, it may explain why the Soviets lost the cold war.

Interesting to see how you basically learned how to decode it on the fly like that.
It is proof of the value of learning how to pick locks in general, i.e multiple locks, instead of being really at picking a few locks.
Bill that looks like a Soviet era lock. I believe that is the price stamped into the body
I think you are right. It was the Soviet way of fighting inflation, gouging, and some varieties of corruption. I have seen Soviet hand tools with a price stamped on them.
Indeed rb most certainly stands for rubles
The only thing is Soviet people didn't really like putting English language and letters on their products. Everything from little transistor to the fridge marked only with Cyrillic.
Credit to the Dude for giving Bill such an interestingly variety of locks for us to see opened
haha I love your descriptions of the cyrilic alphabet.
he's a true master of the Russian language
These episodes are better than any TV show!
"THERE'S A WHOLE LOT OF JIGGLE RIGHT THERE"!
BosnianBill's phrase of the week.
the reason the jiggle method works is: it's cold in russa and, what hapens when you're cold? you shake, and lock opens!
WOW! I really thought this would be a lock that whipped you. When i first saw it I said "damn Bill now what". What a great series this case is!

The Lock Picking Lebowski. Have you picked all the locks you have sent Sir Bill?
@@thelockpickinglebowski633 Are you able to pick all those locks youself ?
@@TheButchersbLock I have picked/decoded most of them, but not all of them.
Love your channel, your attitude, and the lessons I’ve learned over the years. Thank you Bill
1:48 Cool combination :))
You saw it here first folks, the jiggling technique! Well done sir. I would have had no idea what to do with that thing. As usual great video, looking forward to the next one.
Lol... the code was basically ROSTSHJA .. rudimentary Russia :)
I just watched the vid and came here to write that! :D
Probably set by LPLebowski as a joke xD
'Roshchya' is how I'd transliterate that
@@crazybob75 They have a set of those uuu symbols.. I'm quite sure you are right :)
Can't get any better than a little jiggle! Just the right amount :-) definitely cool to see the thought process when going after some alien tech. Thanks Bill!
How can anyone tell which is the front to set the combination on that thing?
Perseverance and technique wins through 👍
bill henderson I Guess the side with the price tag.
Very similar lock to Lockpicking Lawyer's video
883.
Probably something Kruchev had back in the Soviet era. Seems to be the equivalent of Master lock in USSR... lol. 😎

Orchard.
Yes, POWR.
@@thelockpickinglebowski633
A comment from the Lebowski himself, I'm honoured.
"Piece of shackle" ??? 😆
That lock looked like it had seen better times... probably outlived its manufacturers by 50 years
When letters are stampt in, you can read them more easaly when you put a paper on it and scratch with a pencil.
That definitely looks like one that LPL opened before. I don't remember exactly how he opened, but I think he had good feedback on that.
How many locks are there left? Cant wait to see the treasure! Gotta be some epic loot for you :)
Thanks Bill I really do appreciate this series I'm starting to think there's nothing you don't know how to open
Can't wait to see what's inside. Anticipation is making me wait.
I find myself looking forward to these more and more :-)
Pure jiggly luck! Nice job.
I've heard of jiggler keys but never jiggler decoding, very interesting method!
Sometimes a jiggle and a wiggle is all it takes lol.
Great job Bill. Can't wait for the Lucky 13 lock.
Dang Bill! There better be chocolate in that box huh? I would just send The Dude a picture of a hard drive shredder and a big `ole grin.
I love how the combination spells out "Roshchya" which sounds like "Russia" if you were drunk or eating a sandwich.
Your descriptions of the letters were HIГАЯIOUS!
I have that same lock on my gym locker
I hope there is a second box inside this box with locks on all the sides.
"Lets get to jiggling" you gotta try to flag that American lock. One could hope right?
A whole lot of jiggling going on!
getting a lot of milage out of that box
combo letters looked like they said "Russia" in Russian :D
To me it looks like they said "рощя" or "роща". The latter is a word that means small forest. This seems like a Soviet WordLock
for those curious the combination says "grove"
LPL 883 also features this type of lock
this looked like one of the hardest one's for sure
Fun fact :
"Роща" means "grove"
🎶Gettin’ jiggle with it🎶
Jingle lock, jingle lock jingle open-way
A cool and unique padlock. You done well for not being a combo guy.

But the mechanism lost any semblance of precision so now it's *Р|А О Щ А|Я*
So next is the 1100, probably not the same as a Ruko 1100 (old ASSA Twin Combi).
when I come against a combination lock I like to brute force it because it's easy to do and takes only a little memory skills
Does it even take memory skills? Just do it sequentially. AAAA AAAB AAAC AAAD AABA AABB AABC AABD and so on
well if it's like a passcode on a phone then yes
I thought that the intro was giving me the finger for a second there..
Those letters were E B and G ha...
Love this series. Great job!
I laughed out loud when I saw the combination that opened the lock.
Р О Щ Я which in the Latin alphabet is 'R' 'O' 'Sh' 'Ya' - try saying it aloud. Bit of a clue there I think ;-)
With both shackle notches on the same side like that, it might have popped even quicker with a few taps from the little plastic faced hammer. 🤔
Well done! What's that Russian phrase? Don't spit on ya!
I'm impressed... Master Yoda...
Nicely done Bill.

What do the locking palls look like?
It unlocked on the Russian word for woods.
YES YES YES MORE !!!!! TY
I have no idea how you got #12.
Google translate tells me that АШОЯ means "HOME".

Good one
How did LPL open this lock?
Look back at the intro (you'll see Cocklab)
No that's a different channel.

You are a master.

Put it in H!

Id be cool for lock picking lawyer to do one of these
And spells russia xD
Is that what the 4 letters spelled? If so what are they?
@@TheButchersbLock well in a really free spelling ^^ first 2 letters are R and O the next one thats like W is like 3 letters TSS and last one thats like R it sounds like IA so its something like ROTSSIA :)
WOW that was fun!
Please forgive me if I'm wrong but six times four would be 24 different combinations almost would have been just as easy to try every combination
wcytc85 Not 6x4. 6 raised to the 4th power, or 1296.
Or 4 to the 6th = 4096
@@wcytc85 No, it's 6 to the 4th.
Each of the four wheels can be turned to any of six positions, so the number of combinations is 6x6x6x6 = 1296.
In soviet ( democratic ) Russia you won't pick the lock , the lock picks you
POWR
Luck?
The more BB practices, the luckier he gets...
A lot of jiggle there said at fat camp
