    Who can explain Russian technology in the 1980s?

    I just watched a show about technology in the 1980s - the Sony walkman, computers, microwaves, etc....

    Was technology in Russia the same in the 1980s? When did Russians get the Walkman, arcade games, CDs, home computers, etc.....

    Just curious.

      I miss the 80's... I was running a two node BBS. Learned to program, crack, and did some intros/demos with EagleSoft Inc., Fairlight, Razor1911, and Angels/Defjam.

                  It probably took them a couple of years, but they definitely had it.

                      Sony just released this in Russia a few months ago. Lines around the block.

                                  wasn't a lot of it blocked in the 80s?

                                  edit: blocked or they had their own versions?

                                          Why Russia? Did the media whisper 'Russia... Russiaaa....' in your ear, like they do here in Europe? So now your subconscious is all of a sudden thinking about Russia.

                                          Weird thread.

                                              Yes, HIGHLY ADVANCED




                                              Upon dismantling the Mig-25, the data was analyzed by the Foreign Technology Division of the Air Force at Dayton, Ohio. There were many surprises:


                                              The Mig had been manufactured in February 1976 and thus was one of their latest most sophisticated production aircraft.
                                              Transistor circuitry was not used but instead the Soviets relied on vacuum tubes for most of their electronics. The Soviets reasoned the vacuum tubes were less affected by EMP waves in the case of nuclear attack; were more resistant to temperature extremes and they were easy to replace in remote airfields where transistors may not be readily available if repairs were needed.

                                                  I see where you're going with this and I agree.

                                                  They get their technology mysteriously after the US invents it. So does China.

                                                      Actually that's a grammar school basics that vacuum tubes are unaffected by EMP. I'm surprised it took so long for the CIA imbeciles to figure that out

                                                          When I was kid, I remember my mother brought me bag full of toys from Russia. They were pretty advanced at the time and very interesting although most of them were related to military (at least in that package I've got). I can clearly remember some kind of lunokhod that was going around the room on batteries.

                                                              You are misunderstanding me... I don't want to read an article about this. I want to get a feel for what happened in the 1980s in Russia with technology - For example, when did they get the "walkman" or something similar, and how common was it?

                                                              After thinking about this last night, I am also interested in how technology expanded in Europe during the same time.

                                                                      No, not at all. In fact, you can argue a lot of the tech the general public had in the 1980s came from Japan. Namely Sony.

                                                                      This isn't a "US vs Russia" thing, more about how technology advanced in different parts of the world.

He just gave you a link to Google images for "Soviet electronics" (record players, console games, TV's etc). I can tell you that Soviet TV's of 80's were much worse than the Japanese ones, but definitely not worse than those made in the USA - same shit, different names.

FYI: Russia is not a very friendly place for immigrants. You will die before you get even a tourist visa. For example, I need just to submit an online form and visit the US embassy to get a visa for 5 years which will be renewed automatically (I don't even have to visit your embassy every time when my 5 year old visa expires). Now go try to get a Russian visa and tell us your success story ;)

So now Brighton Beach is a "Small Israel" in the NYC also know as "Judeo-Russian mafia". A normal person would newer visit that criminal hole.

                                                                                                      I wonder how much money was spent in preparation of that war in the past 50 years?

I am a typical American who was under the impression that the average Russian grocery stores couldn't keep basic staples in stock no less did they have access to electronics. Is this true, or did the average fifteen year old in 1984 have their own Walkman or something similar?

I am a typical American who was under the impression that the average Russian grocery stores couldn't keep basic staples in stock no less did they have access to electronics. Is this true, or did the average fifteen year old in 1984 have their own Walkman or something similar?
                                                                                                                          An average fifteen year old had no own Walkman in 1984. A Soviet-made cassette record player, a vinyl player or even studio-like reel tape recorder - yes, but not Walkman. Those where not produced in the USSR in 1984, so they were rare and very expensive toys from Japan. The toys you can't buy in the regular market.

                                                                                                                          The typical music players available in the USSR:
