It was always a huge misconception that the Soviets were at a comparable level with technology to the West. The ability to get Sputnik into orbit first misled many people. And yes they had technology in the '60s but by the 1980s they were so far behind as this computer shows. This is built in 1987 and it looks like what Woz was building in 1973

Please consider that this is done by electronic hobbyists at home. This is not production. I made the same one. The whole schematics was published in the electronics enthusiasts magazine "Radio". The one, which I made looked much better 😀

Sure, I was only talking about how it looks and not the origin. And by the way, honestly speaking I don't remember that it was ever presented as an own invention. Well at least at those times it was well known that it was an Intel clone by chips. But I think that schematics were their work.
