Answer 2

Yes, it's Russian.
I don't know anything about propulsion systems, but maybe you can understand some of these numbers:

"Made in USSR"
"Index M~5UM"
"(nomenclature) N71497"
" nominal 62 l.s."
"nominal 2600 s.o./min."
"front 1.55"
"back 1.55"
"wt. 360 kg."
1971 (year)

I'm not sure what the abbreviations "l.s." and "s.o" stand for, but those are the Latin equivalents from the Cyrillic.

Answer 3

I think it says:

Made in USSR
Frequency supply 62 A.C.
Frequency rotation 2600 rpm
Corrected Power factor 1.55
Uncorrected Power factor 1.55

This is not necessarily word for word but it gives the gist.

Hope this helps.
