Default Pink Cheeks

Is Pink Cheeks a translated name (perhaps of a Russian variety), or is it the actual name of the tomato breed? It seems that Double Helix Farms uses translated names on a number of tomato breeds, and this sounds like it's possibly one as I can't seem to find any mention of a Pink Cheeks tomato anywhere else (so, that's why I ask).

I've found it to be a productive variety (2016). The first fruits had very little hang-time (similar to how Paul Robeson was for me in 2015), but they got better over time. It took a while to set fruit, but the fruit ripens fast (so it was midseason). The taste is like Chapman's (but with a much softer texture). I think mine were pink all the way through (I didn't notice a scarlet circle in the center). The fruits were probably about a pound each (give or take a couple ounces). I believe they did have a little yellow on the shoulders.

Whoa. I did another search and found it on Amazon (which listed a Russian name with Pink Cheeks also listed as a name). Apparently, if it's the same variety, and if the page is correct, the name is Rozovyye Shchechki. Has anyone heard of this breed?
