Let’s move back in time for this, shall we? Looking to October 1st, 1970; once again, a snowy evening but in comes Viktor Glushkov in a meeting with the Politburo.
Though he proposed a solution that would solve the Soviet’s problems, known as OGAS, he was ultimately turned away until the idea was brought up once again by another fellow military researcher, Anatoly Ivanovich Kitov.
Originated in 1962 and otherwise known as the All-State System, OGAS was a national computer network that used preexisting technologies to form this hierarchal decentralized network. Its intentions were, simply put, to better the economy and military. It would serve to rise in influence and function a nervous system integrated into a country of its own.
