EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Soviet Mikrosha computer from 1987, which was prominently displayed at the engineering industry pavilion in Moscow's All-Union Exhibition of Peoples Economic Achievements (VDNKh). The Mikrosha computer, an 8-bit microcomputer, played a crucial role in Soviet industry and was widely used as a personal computer during that era. In this particular exhibition display, the Mikrosha has been ingeniously configured to adjust tooling equipment. Its monochrome screen and keyboard are visible, reflecting the technological advancements of the time. This photograph takes us back to the historical roots of computing in Russia, with its first electronic computers being developed in the 1950s. The All-Russia Exhibition Centre (formerly known as VDNKh) served as a hub for showcasing scientific and industrial achievements throughout Europe. This image captures not only the significance of Soviet technology but also highlights how computing rapidly evolved during the late 20th century. As we delve into this snapshot from history, it is fascinating to witness how far our modern-day PCs have come since then. Science Photo Library expertly captures this momentous piece of technological history within their vast collection of images documenting various scientific fields.
