Carolyn,
these tomato varieties from Kazakhstan can be anything you can imagine, because Kazakhs have been living those 74 Soviet years very close to all other native people in USSR. This Ludmila can buy seeds for these varieties in her local seed shop where there was a standard Soviet assortment of famous Soviet CVs from Moscow and St.Petersburg Institutes and best AES + from some non-commercial varieties like De Barao (with several colors) and Bytch'e Serdtse (Bull's Heart) + from local Kazakh Institutes and Aes. She (Ludmila) had a chance to get the seeds of these varieties from her relatives or gardening friends from Kazakhstan or from any Soviet Republic. You can think about any other history behind these varieties but who knows them for sure?!
And as for Anna Maria's Heart just call it OP variety from Germany with Russion origin since you don't know the originator and original Russian name of this variety
