Idle musings, for sure, but...
Surfing the 'Net for surplus ammo, one can find stuff from almost all conceivable former Warsaw Pact countries, plus some other ex-or current-socialist states, but I have not seen any genuine Soviet military surplus ammo (i.e. in military cans, with Red Army markings, etc.). I wonder why? They have cleaned out their arsenals of surplus rifles, so why isn't the ammo available? I wonder if they think that they may have some use for it in the future. The other ex-Warsaw Pact countries probably think that the chance of another war in Europe are slim to none. I wonder if the ex-Soviet countries think the same...
Or perhaps there's a much simpler explanation for it.
