  That was a wonderful glimpse into their museum. Given how rare the Soviet era computers became, there may be some truly irreplaceable losses from this. I hope they can rebuild this eventually.

  The video's worth a watch! It's really interesting to hear him talk about the history of the various machines, especially with respect to Eastern Bloc economies/culture. Sad that the museum is gone now, though!

  So much effort that went into preserving the history and engineering examples just got mindlessly wasted. So many of those artifacts were from the Soviet Union times. I think it was a different kind of nostalgia, it was nostalgia not for the Union times, but for the times and spirit of ingenuity despite the scarcity and isolation of the Union. I guess, those PCs back then were in a way as small screens of hope to have a chance of more advanced and free future. That PC era started not long after the times when owning a personal typewriter in the Soviet Union could put one on a suspects/dissidents list. This only underscores the fact that those who brought this barbaric war into Ukraine under the slogans of creating a Union 2.0, in reality don't give a damn about keeping the Soviet legacy. The so widely advertized putin's "personal tragedy" of the Soviet Union break up is just as fake as his edited-in appearance at the supposed recent meeting with flight attendants. The PC museum is gone in ruins, so will go the remnants of the "empire of evil". Mariupol should be rebuilt, but the obsolete emipre is in EOL and has no future version.
