Minsk family of computers - Definition

Minsk family of mainframe computers was developed and produced in Belarus from 1959 to 1975. Its further progress was stopped by a political decision of switching to IBM System/360 clone family known as ES EVM or Ryad during the brief period of détente.

The most advanced model was Minsk-32, developed in 1968. It supported COBOL, FORTRAN and ALGAMS (a version of Algol). This and earlier versions also used a machine-oriented language called AKI (AvtoKod Ingenera, i.e., "engineer's autocode"). It stood somewhere between the native assembly language SSK (Sistema Simvolicheskogo Kodirovaniya, or "System of symbolic coding") and higher-level languages, like FORTRAN.
