In the west in 1988 computers had become a consumer item but in the ussr it was still limited to labs and military bases and universities. part of that is because of poverty but also because the soviet leaders still thought nobody wanted to own a computer anyway. i wonder what would have happened if the ussr still existed in the 90s and 2000s would they only be a few years behind or would they still be using the 8080 in the year 2000 upgrade to 286 in 2008 and 386 in 2016 and by now the should be getting their 486 clone ready.
