Of the Mostochlegmash blades, the Voskhod seems to be the most popular Russian non PPI blade. IMO, the Vosk isn't as sharp as any of the PPI blades but is one of the most forgiving blades out there.
I like all the PPI blades, I've been using the 7OC Yellow a lot recently which is excellent but on the unforgiving side of things. My favourite for smoothness and sharpness is the Permasharp Super Stainless.
What's the difference between Gillettes with blue line and these in the pic below.I've tried a few Gillette blades. The 7 o'clock Yellow's, Green's, Black's, Silver Blue and Platinum. Although I've read rave reviews of the Black ‘Super Platinum' I didn't get on with them at all. I swapped them for my favourite blade the Gillette Platinum's. The GP's are sharp and very smooth. The Yellows are great too.

Which Gilletes are Silver Blue, are there white and dark platinums?

IMO there is no difference between the "dark" & "white" Plats and I have both. Both made in St. Pete, Russia. YMMV.
Swedes are long discontinued. They acquired that name due to the customer service address on the back of the card hanger.I am in Croatia and I bought the ''white'' Platinum in a local store.
According to many sources, there are not the same as Silver Blue or Dark platinums. These Whites are called also ''Swedes'' and cost more than the Dark platinums....
Some do say the only difference is in the market they are on.
So far I have not found a reliable info and still don't know what is the truth.
For instance:

I would really like someone to make a list of all Gillette blade types
Searching the net I just saw these for the first time :

The grey packs are Brazilian in origin, but exported to the US amongst other places...
