People and Machines. The History of Creation of The First Armenian Computers

The leadership of the USSR decided in the late 1940s to organize a mass repatriation of Armenians. There was a great need for specialists after the war, and they decided to solve that problem with the help of Armenians who survived the Genocide and settled in different countries. Repatriation changed the whole culture of the USSR, from everyday life to narrow professions. The leaders of Soviet Armenia convinced Moscow that it was possible and necessary to develop technologies in Armenia, to put emphasis on the production of electronic devices. This policy led to the creation of such research centers, which quickly became the leading institutions in the USSR and even in the world. This book tells how state-of-the-art institutions developed in small Armenia and how cultural change guaranteed the unprecedented development of science.
