I read about Rannii, Sverhranniy, Angel Red, Medovyi Vahsha, Sumbar.
What did I miss?
There are some that hard to find in the US:

@greenfig, Molla Nepes and Utah's Sweet are listed as early and soft seeded.

AC Sweet is another cultivar that is reported to be cold hardy and soft seeded. Burnt Ridge was selling it and Fruitwood nursery has cuttings available I believe ( got a few of them to try my luck at this season)
Burnt Ridge description : "Good flavored unusually sweet variety with edible soft seeds. Pink fruit keeps well. Self fruitful. Developed by A.C. Combe in Arizona, very popular in Utah as well. One of the hardiest varieties. Hot summers are necessary to ripen fruit."
Not sure about how early it is though I thought I had seen it mentioned somewhere that it was a good bit earlier than "Wonderful"

Ok, great! Thank you for suggestions.
Anyone tasted Sumbar?
I’ve seen good reviews online but never tried it.
