Hear hear. I've explored the old USSR via youtubers like bald and bankrupt and various urban explorer channels (and of course, the amazing HBO/Sky show, chernobyl) but I would love something as digestible based on older computing systems from Russia and beyond. Just yesterday, an urban exploration channel found a bunch of abandoned computers in a bunker that I could not find a single reference to on the internet (and that looked fairly intact).

It's not about programming languages, but it contains a lot of information about the birth of cybernetics in the USSR: Red Plenty by Francis Spufford.

Highly recommended!

Hey there, those channels you like sound awfully interesting to me as well. Would you mind sharing where you saw this bunker exploration video exactly? Thank you :)

For Soviet-era bunkers and similar urbex I suggest you have a look at Shiey (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpXwMqnXfJzazKS5fJ8nrVw/vid...) as well as Urbex Polska's videos on "Sobieskiego 100" (https://www.youtube.com/user/NaszaRzeczywistosc/videos).
