Demos got their international UUCP connection only in 1990. In 1989 they were playing with Moscow-only UUCP network. Everything was dialup based. In 1991 they played with local TCP/IP in Moscow, in 1992 started to make dialup calls to

Not really. In Soviet Union it was possible to have connection to the outside world only in case you were completely trusted (checked by KGB many times). No one was prosecuted in SU for unauthorized access to western computer resources beca

Modern "Internet" is about about making everything tcp/ip based. Interconnection between networks with different protocols was a real thing long before tcp/ip conquered our planet: "An amusing side note on the VNIIP

Private companies are interested in getting real statistics, it was not like that in USSR. Even on largest auto-factory (AvtoVAZ) programmers were creating software with intentional bugs, so they can fix it later, during pre-programmed out

USSR invented "internet" in terms of internal military network, but it had nothing in common with public packet-switching networks like in the West. Such networks were build in USSR only in late 80s - early 90s, some of them by we

In fact you can't use this manual to create compiler for Elbrus. It looks like you still have to be russian citizen with signed NDA to get all required documentation.

Detailed description of instruction set is secret. You can't even download sources for the patched Linux kernel without signing strict NDA.

They've got firewall (from US company Palo Alto Networks, btw), to block GTP traffic over GRX (which is used for roamers) based on their rules. And unrestricted access is already unavailable in Tibet and Xinjiang.

Actually not every call, and not even a majority of calls. And most of the erlang based software available in telecom world - is far from perfect.
