I thought these sounded interesting, but information on the internet is a bit limited. I like the description from Irish Seed Savers,

My seeds are from a different source and I'm hoping they are describing the same variety as I have. I didn't have a chance to grow them this year, but they are top of my list for next year. Lilac flowers sound pretty cool. Seeds are quite small and very black to look at. As far as I can tell they grow to around 1 metre.
This was a bean selected in the Gribovsky Russian breeding station in the 1950’s. Compact plants with beautiful lilac flowers that fruit in a short season, pods 8cm or so long. The beans are small and tender and of course dark, deep purple – very beautiful.
