    Would the Russians use the Apollo name?

      The name was a sure-fire marketing tool in the 60's!
      Everyone and their dog was using it, even if it had nothing to do with the actual NASA project!

    Its also got a Cherilea spaceman shoehorned into the cabin, so its clearly had some customisation

      Not necessarily. Caligaris Tibidabo's Lunik 2000 has similar kind of Cherilea spaceman in cockpit
