Not sure if anyone can expand on this, but I thought that Bulgaria was the east-European silicon valley? As mentioned already, the GDR also made some kit. I've read some material describing Russians buying fairly advanced homegrown systems from Bulgaria; it's no secret that they have a few virus authors there... so they certainly have some latent expertise. It's long-suspected that Russian coding techniques were superior to those in the West, motivated by the presence of less-powerful CPUs. Or was this a myth too?
