Although I would've used 2 fillets, one on either side of the truss rod.
Actually, I find the headstock far uglier than the repair.
I quite like it
I could be wrong but I'm not totally sure that's as much of a repair as it looks either - some of these things were built with jointed headstocks, I think done just like that. Although it does look like it's separated and then been oversprayed… but it might possibly be original like that, some of the build quality is shockingly poor on East-European stuff. I've made a couple of them playable to modern standards and it's a *lot* of work.
The worst case is that it is a break and needs to be re-repaired with two more splints either side and re-overspayed again, so you haven't a lot to lose really.

There is a theory that they were built that way on purpose to put Russian kids off rock'n'roll...

Enlarging the image seems to show a gap
Thats what I found...

I had one of those years ago, it had a side-car.
