Isn‘t it Loadrunner2?

At first I've thought in O'Connor; but it's not exactly the same. Could it be a nice homebrew rendition of Lode Runner?

It looks like Rise Out (from Dungeons)... but not 100% the same.

Yes it looks very similar to it, but with somehow different graphics. Those arrows were not in the original game.
I remember that, after finishing the last level in Rise out (EXPOILER ALERT!!!!), a congratulations level is shown and it mentions a Rise Out II, but I think it was never released. Maybe this is a sample screen from it?

From the Russian book about the basics of computer technology:

Doesn't the text give any hints?

Not really. This was an example of computer usage in gaming. As MSX was mentioned, I asked if anyone recognized the game.

Bit of an odd screenshot... score (bonus?) is zero, but the player is already in level 5 with 37 lives?

Maybe that's a bonus countdown and not a score. Many games do this - display a bonus counting down, and when you finish the level whatever number is left is added to your score.

Looking at the screen height, maybe its an MSX2 game, not an MSX1? Definitively not Super Lode Runner though :/
