of course you do not have idea of what I am smoking. I smoked a lot of technical documentation in the 90-ies. The USSR had some sort of the Internet over radio for antiaircraft missiles distributed squadrons. Completely original. It had global ultra long wave system for submarines communication. And of course it had original competing computer architectures. That was not competition as you know it. Normally state financed a bunch of perspective tech, but only few best suited for economical situation went to series. Most of educational IT came from Bulgaria and East Germany, and there was colossal own production in Minsk. Minsk still produces a hell of cheap chips for watches by the way. But military applications and industrial IT was in many cases original, especially in nuclear energy production and space.
