Fantastic technology for the 1970s. Well done Soviets!

One of the best programmers I've ever worked with is a guy that got his Master's under the USSR before the collapse. Great guy (H1b).

I would assume the NSA/CIA had even more sophisticated tech; maybe the soviets did too. We only find out about the ones that got discovered or leaked.
