As a non-collector, the only info I can give is simple translation.

Ассоциация клубов филофонистов "БудКон" = association of record-fan (filofonists') clubs "BudKon"
Existed in 1989-1995 (other sources: 1994).
Brief info:
"A Russian record label, located either in Kaliningrad or St. Petersburg, Russia. Its releases are all unofficial, and available mostly through Polish record sellers.
The name буд кон (sometimes printed as one word: будкон) translates to BUDKON, but has no meaning either in Russian or Polish."
More: http://www.thirdav.com/hd_discog/budkon.htm

45 моно = 45 rpm mono

Запись по трансляции = broadcast transcription

It's stated everywhere that BudKon bootlegs are very rare.
