Happy Russia Day, friends
🇷🇺
Since my channel is about technology, security, etc., I would like to remind you that Russia is not only “we are the first in space” and “we have a lot of oil.” We had and still have our own technology school, which few people talk about outside of very narrowly focused parties.
🧐
Did you know that one of the first mass-produced GUIs in the USSR was on Agata? With a graphical interface, a mouse and even training programs. This is 1984, by the way. At the same time, Jobs and Gates borrowed the concept and technology of the graphical interface and interaction with it from the guys from Xerox
😅
What about the VLIW architecture that Intel later tried to develop with Itanium? It was implemented in Elbrus-3 back in 1992. VLIW, RISC, multiprocessing - all this was developed in all seriousness, until they even talked about it
🤯
Cryptography? GOST 28147-89 was the first state block encryption standard in the world. Earlier than AES. And when differential cryptanalysis was discussed in the world, it was already taught in our universities ( True, no one called him that then )
🫡
And while someone was saying that “open-source is not Russian,” the first public forks of OpenVPN with support for GOST algorithms were being written in St. Petersburg
🧠
We're not just catching up. In many ways we have been before
🥳
Happy holiday, Ayotovites. Don’t forget whose shoulders we stand on and what peaks we can still climb.
