The general rule to Soviet cameras is to stay before 1970, and the sweet spot is the mid-50's to early 60's. Afterwards quality is hit and miss, depending on how much vodka the workers had at the time of build.
If you don't mind the weight, and I know I'm going to get slammed for this but for the price of the Kiev you could have an RB67 with vastly-superior build quality and lenses. They can be had for about 200 dollars.
