Our series of articles began with a description of the meeting, which formed the basis of all missile defense developments in our country, the very one where the young and daring Kisunko had a delicious fight with Mints and Raspletin and proved to them that it was possible and necessary to create a missile defense system. We promised that that dispute would still hurt him very much (alas

Standardization As for the first task - here, alas, as we mentioned in the previous article, there was no smell of standardization of computers in the USSR. This was the greatest scourge of Soviet computers (along with officials), which it was just as impossible to overcome. The idea of a standard is often overlooked
