2) Maximus BBS was the most popular software to run a BBS in USSR in late 80s, in addition to FifoNet utilities for sending/receiving/reading messages. In 80s there were just a few BBSes but their number grew exponentially starting 1990.
3) Unfortunately OGAS ceased to exist before my time. I haven’t seen Soviet equivalent of ARPAnet either.
4) I‘m in Mathematics, not Physics and never visited Dubna. Although I had a tour once of accelerators in Novosibirsk Institute of Nuclear Physics, it was very cool experience.
When I was an intern at the Institute of Catalysis I was introduced to Yulii Khariton, chief designer of Soviet nuclear program. I don‘t remember details of that meeting unfortunately…
