Apparently pretty far, I've found various sources for why funding was cut from "The west was going binary so that was the order of the day" to "The space race".

Apparently pretty far, I've found various sources for why funding was cut from "The west was going binary so that was the order of the day" to "The space race". What was interesting was the hardware description I could find wasn't vacuum tubes but rather ICs and allegedly some sort of logic based on "Ferrite cores and diode ladders" which was apparently a major thing as it was vastly cheaper than transistors (super expensive at the time) or vacuum tubes (expensive and unreliable). How much of this is true or just what's on the russian computing museum's website I don't know.
