Whilst browsing some Russian sites (Spectrum reasons only I hasten to add before you start checking my internet history!) today I came across the 'Info Guide Magazine' on Speccy Live which has been translated to English:
http://speccy-live.untergrund.net/2018/ ... 12-ruseng/
Do we have any members from Russia or the former Eastern Block countries? I would love to hear about the scene now, and how you got access to equipment, software and documentation in the 1980s.
What are the key sites to monitor to keep up-to date with the Russian scene?

It's a biggest Russian forum, something like Russian WOS (when it was still good )

Very nice - since outlet stopped its hard to find disk magazines on the spectrum.
In the editorial section they are looking for a place to store 1500 programming/game dev notes the editor has scanned and organized in directories.. That would seem like a really good thing for SC to get. You can see a small portion of it in the oldpapers section on the zip.
Would be a few years too late (2016) but who knows perhaps they still have them..
For the non-pentagon people...

I'm still hoping for a Russian speaking volunteer to help with this. Step forward please! It would be great to get these scans preserved. I have had a couple of offers of help, but then it died out.Nomad wrote: ↑Thu Mar 08, 2018 12:16 pm Very nice - since outlet stopped its hard to find disk magazines on the spectrum.
