Translation of a paragraph from [Russian Indymedia]:

"...the apartment at the historical address Ligovsky prospect, 60, the very same apartment where in 1900 A.I.Lenin /* that's a misprint - should've been V.I.Lenin! */ with a group of Russian Social-Democrats decided to print the revolutionary newspaper "Iskra" (there is a corresponding memorial sign posted on the wall of the house)."

  • Gnomz: as somebody who worked with Iskra-226 a lot, let me tell you it was in no way an XT clone. However, there were a lot of computers branded "Iskra", and some might have been IBM-compatible clones indeed. Haven't worked with these, though...
