Never heard of a 28mm Helios from USSR, the ad says Japanese?
Since we are into the subject, have a look at Jupiter lenses, in particular Jupiter-3 and -9, a 58mm 1.5 and a 85mm 2.0. I love them, but until now I've only used them on a GH2. And then there is the famous Tair-11, a 135mm 2.8 with lots of aperture blades. Even stopped down the OOF highlights always stay round.
If you are getting into Russian lenses, just be aware that sample variation is massive. Expect to try a few before you encounter a gem, but some are really very nice.
