@sv1201 They probably knew they could get their boss to pay it out of his slush fund.

Instead of 1's and 0's, soviet computers used "Da" and "Nyet". Jokes aside, the Russians always excelled at Math, but that's not enough to build a computer. You need the industrial and semi-conductor engineering to build fabrication plants, and improve computer speed and accuracy. My guess is they fully understood how to implement things like Euler/Improved Euler/ Runge-Kutta methodologies on computers long before they actually had computers to use them on.
