ENTRY #3

But, now, it is the month of love and relationships. February, except several years have passed and it is now, 1987.

After many failed attempts to persuade the, originally Soviet, government, Kitov proposes once more in his now famous journal, “Communist” for the transition to a centralized network that would benefit the economy and military – which was in shatters at the time.

We can see that one last chance went well, with the Soviets being able to develop this new type of computer system, otherwise known as OGAS. His proposal was accepted and the formation of OGAS, and translation of cybernetics moved on to something bigger. Of course, no such proposal to a highly-esteemed body would not come without technological challenges and difficulties.

While the Soviet Union fell for a number of reasons, OGAS moved onto become the Internet, a wide-standing pride still seen in Russia today. Still, Russia contends with widespread public skepticism, a legacy of its Soviet past. But I have to say, without Kitov, OGAS wouldn’t have been possible and I wouldn’t have the job I have now.
