It's not Soviet , it's French ! It's a PERICOLOR-1000 system with a software translated to Russian. They used to buy hardware and software in the West and change it a bit(translate) and present it as one developed internally in some scientific institute. Here is the discussion in Russian: http://habrahabr.ru/blogs/history/107465/ http://habrahabr.ru/blogs/history/107465/

Hehe, some countries still do this today ;p Not naming anyone because I don't want to start a flame war. It happens in "developed" countries too.

  Honestly, it's more annoying for you to specifically not name anything.

    Here's an example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bharat_Operating_System_Solutions http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bharat_Operating_System_Solutio... From the article: "the most meaningful product to come out of the Indian software industry"

      They could have done worse. E.g. implement their own operating system.

        Or, to make it even worse, make it Windows-like instead of Unix-like.

I love the fact that the blog post is titled "Олдскульный Фотошоп", which transliterates to English as "Old-school Photoshop"

  It actually transliterates to something closer "old-schoolnyi photoshop". I love it, too.

Actually, I'm not seeing anything about presenting this system as their own work. The book chapter linked off the top post on Habr talks about testing new image processing algorithms on the PERICOLOR hardware. The translation of the UI was most likely a simple hex-edit, and was done for usability. If I missed it, let me know :)
