Arsenal of Kiev, Ukraine, introduced this revision to the Salyut in 1972. The name appears as Салют-С in Cyrillic, thus the model is sometimes called the Salyut-C. This model offered shutter speeds from 1/2 to 1/1000 seconds and the Vega-12 standard lens had an automatic diaphragm stop-down.

Its successor in 1980 was the Kiev 88, adding a hot shoe. The Salyut/Kiev 88 models are sometimes affectionately known as the "Hasselbladski" due to their resemblance to a certain Swedish camera.
