Soviet engineering at it's finest...

See more if you follow the link... I was trying to find info on Soviet Computing, because I was curious as to the work Soviet Computer Scientists did. After reading from Code about William Shockley and Bell Labs and the early work on computers (ENIAC, EDVAC, UNIVAC, etc...) A lot of stuff was stolen from the US, but there was a book on it, originally in Russian, but available online in PDF format in English, but I don't see it readily now (I closed the tab... ugh)

Here's some interesting links.
ACM PDF
MIT's "Computing in the Soviet Space Program"

Here it is!
sovietcomputing.com

I'm too tired to follow up reading all this right now, but I'm fascinated by this, especially early work that wasn't merely just copied... I've seen some stuff on East German arcade games and computers before, too.

I haven't had the chance to read them (as I'm at work)...do they mention the brief forays into ternary and quaternary machines?
