Google is your friend. There are numerous models/brands of older Russian shotguns. Go on sites like Guns International or Guns America and see what's listed. Google vintage Russian shotguns. Go on Shotgun World and they have a forum called " I Love My Russian Shotguns".
The double barrel mentioned above is probably the IJ 58.

Soviet military shotguns? That's something doesn't seem to be much information on.
Post-War commercial hunting shotguns, lots of those around, to the present day. Look for TOZ (Tula factory) and Baikal (Izhevsk; IZh or Romanized IJ models), mostly single- and double- barrel break actions, or combination guns.

Some of the model numbers from that era are a bit of a mystery. I've collected a set of TOZ sidelock sxs open hammer guns with Greener style crossbolts. The 12 ga piece has "TO3 66" stamped on the barrels. There are no other markings attributable to the model on the gun. The identical gun in 16 ga has "6M-16" stamped at the same position on the barrels. The 20 ga specimen has only basic engraving on that part of the barrels.
These are all the same model, from the same factory, in the same era.
