#3There was this joke at Soviet time, mimicking the usual Soviet propaganda: Soviet microprocessors - the most large microprocessors in the world!
They made many clones of Western designs but had also number of original designs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Soviet_microprocessors

I remember reading that some version of the MicroVAX CPU had etched into it, in broken Russian, something approximating "VAX: When you care enough to steal the very best". I'm not sure how many Soviet engineers would have been familiar with the Hallmark commercials to get the joke, though.

#6I happen to have three of those: one standalone NOS chip and two on Q-Bus SBCs. One however has a crack in its cerdip package. Here's what one of the boards looks like:

Boards like these were used both in DVK systems and in different CNC controllers.

I think they would have gotten the point without it, given that they were into stealing its design - of course the subtle point might have been not familiar for them.

The broken Russian reads more like an advertisement to buy the real thing. Until you have supplied that quote I had no idea, even though I saw this picture.
