It looks for me as stupid schematic (Oldtimers welcome!)

Well, re-read the thread. Others have suggested a couple things. Add a series resistor to the grid. Add a current limiter. Add a fuse at the input.
You could also add some kind of physical protection (like a plastic shell or something) around the high-voltage part, so there's less chance you touch it when you're experimenting with the board.

Probably not that much.

No comment. But still be careful, I don't think it gets any better with age. ;D
001:
Thanx for Yours comments
But I still misunderstood why transistor didn`t blow when base-emitter voltage rises to 300-75=225V instead 5V :-//

Because it doesn't?
001:
OLALA! I GET SOMETHING SIMILAR!
Can U tell me is it good idea to use MOSFETs? Why author use neon bulb instead zeners?
Check this:

001 - "Why author use neon bulb instead zeners?"
The 0A2 is not a neon bulb as you imagine it but a 7-pin miniature gas filled cold cathode tube designed to be a voltage regulator with fairly tight regulation, unlike a neon bulb designed to be a really cheap indicator lamp.
