not sure if this is the right forum to post this, I just came upon this interview/narrative while traipsing across the weird, wild web. Hopefully some
of you will find this info useful and informative.
It involves two US communist engineers who worked on top secret projects for US military contractors during World War II and funneled their
technology secrets over to the Soviets. Eventually, these lads made their way to the Soviet Union where they started work on, among other things, the
first Soviet made PC and even a desktop fab for producing chips.
