In an unremarkable industrial building, the kind which was built in hundreds of Soviet cities, lies a dark floor. Inside is sooty – a fire at some point?

Russian Urban explores a cemetery, but one of old Soviet era computers. Clones of the American PDP-8 and PDP-11. The legendary “Saratov-2”. The machine, which was used in many enterprises of the Soviet Union in the 70s. Not a single high-quality photo existed until then. Not on the internet, not even in the museum of the enterprise developer.
