The sound of "Love & Technology" is certainly rooted in post-punk and new wave which was very popular by the end of 80s when this album was released, but it also sounds surprisingly close to some early EBM acts. I think it's safe to say that it's one of the first (if not the very first) proper industrial music releases in the USSR, whose author knew for sure what exactly he's doing. Surely there also were Linija Mass, Center, StereoZoldat and ZGA, but they either didn't release anything until the 90s (the debut album of ZGA was released only in 1989, for example), or their belonging to the industrial music scene is questionable (StereoZoldat, early Center). While the album is very poorly produced (just like other Siberian punk albums of that time, though), and I don't like the vocal work at all, it's still an interesting document of that era.
