I should know enough trans people, autists, and retrocomp geeks to get useful information out of this question.

Tragically, with the current state of web search, this is less a matter of "lazy google" and more of an example of "We have unjustly slain the librarian."

Does anyone have any good resources on computing in the soviet union in the 70s and 80s that isn't just Skala? I'm getting way too obsessive about a writing problem.

I am especially interested in anything where a user interface becomes relevant: ICS workstations, desktop computers, the whole bit.

EDIT: Thanks everyone for your help I am SWIMMING in new threads to pull on now.
