Thanks everyone for such quick replies. I thought that I can find some kind of an adapter but wasn't really sure which mount this lens uses.
Inkista, thank you for the efforts. I don't think it is a M42 mount, based on what I understood from Wikipedia. It doesn't have those 42 mm diameter threads, in fact, the mount is VERY similar to the one on my Takumar lens.
But, on the other hand, I've found this
website dedicated to M42 lenses and adapters and
here you can find all the info on this lens and it says there were three generations of this lens made, and the one I've got is definitely the third generation, since it uses 58 mm filters.
So, what kind of mount is it, I'm confused now.

That's not a problem, since I always use Aperture Priority or Manual modes. I wouldn't loose the ability to use in-camera metering, right?
Here are a few pictures of the mount and the lens I took, so you can take a close look at the mount:

P.S. It's a huge beast, take a look.
