Soviet high-speed computers: the new generation
Abstract
In the past three years several new Soviet high performance computers have been announced and a number of earlier models have been approved for series production. These models represent the most innovative computer design work in the USSR. Some of the technical characteristics of these machines are reviewed. The perestroika reforms provide hope that traditional difficulties in production will be overcome. However, developments to date indicate that the reforms have not greatly helped, and in many cases have harmed, the high performance computing industry.

Bibliometric analysis of publications from post-Soviet countries in psychological journals in 1992---2017
For several decades the Soviet academic psychology community was isolated from the West, yet after the collapse of the Soviet Union each of the 15 countries went their own way in economic, social, and scientific development. The paper analyses ...
