A101
Dekatron counting tube
Made by Анод, Дятьково, Россия (Anode, Dyatkovo, Russia)

Bi-directional double-pulse decimal counting/selector tube.
Neon filled.

You'll notice a dark coating of some sort, inside the glass envelope on the top on all the Russian Dekatrons, also on that A101 Dekatrons.
That coating is NOT a sign that the tube is used, but an intentional part of the manufacturing process.

The following pictures show the tube spinning.
Of course, only one of the cathodes is glowing, but the shutter speed of the camera generates different pictures:

a normal shutter speed of the camera:

a high shutter speed of the camera:

a low shutter speed of the camera:

by night, with low shutter speed of the camera:
