Apparently those CBRN suits were popularly called "Wombles" because of the long snouts on the masks.  I'm just surprised that your average Russian had any idea what a Womble was.  Clearly the GRU penetration of our society was more significant than we believed!  Perhaps they were seen as role models for what was - as we understand it - very much a "make do and mend" society..............  Or maybe they were seen as a dangerous populist subversive underground (literally) resistance group led by a Bulgarian counter-revolutionary exile requiring the early nuking of Wimbledon Common......

 

Not wishing to nit-pick, but IIRC those suits were actually a greeny-brown colour and not noticeably shiny.  They were rubberised fabric, not rubber.
