Article doesn't have "history" in it's title, HN submission has.
Title on site is "How the Computer Got Its Revenge on the Soviet Union". > some cheap spin-doctoring on soviet computer science
this article is actually reworked version of "Gerovitch, Slava. "InterNyet: why the Soviet Union did not build a nationwide computer network." History and Technology 24.4 (2008): 335-350." which has a lot of reference and citations. And article main subject is not history of computer science in USSR, it's about problems of creating huge computer networks in particular political-ideological environment. I don't see how this attempt of informing about attempts of creating Internet in USSR diminishes achievements of great Scientists that you've mentioned. It mentions "MESM", which was created by Lebedev, it's certainly close enough without changing the subject of article. > Twisting the facts, mixing them with fiction in such a way that is hard to tell one from another.
Where exactly fact twisting is in the article? [0] http://web.mit.edu/slava/homepage/articles/Gerovitch-InterNy... |
