I start with a figure of a Polish commie era computer engineer Jacek Karpiński - picrel and his famous multiple (yes, it had many CPUs) processor capable K 202 on the 2nd picture from early 1970s. Here some english text about him:

I think we have plenty lainons from teh former region of failed ideology of communism applied in real life to share info. Would be nice to read about other constructors and their constructions.

Really interesting history, I fell sad for him though.

the Moscow State University and a few other places had Setun computers, which were trinary.

I scrolled through 2/3 of OP's article and it seems like it's written by a drooling humanities retard, aka journalistus vulgaris, not a person with an inch of knowledge in technical fields. Is there a proper article written by an IT nerd so we could assess such bold claims as "conduct a million operations per second" (where are exact comparative benchmarks together with microcomputers of era) and "the K-202 could have up to 8 MB" (I doubt that bit-Byte capitalization, idiots always get them wrong). Overall, the machine looks similar to Altair 8800, what are the "American minicomputer Super Nova and the English Modular One" mentioned further in the text?
>Eventually he moved to Wrocław, where he made a living designing websites.
Brutal.
tl;dr: he was escorted out of factory and had all his work destroyed because a competing enterprise had more connections in the government
