The pre-war years: recoveries and destructions. L. V. Kantorovich. War and early postwar years: Military science. Ballistic and Atomic calculations. Mechanical and analogue machines.The cold war and the arms race. Cybernetics. The First Computers. Tasks of anti-missile defense. A. I. Kitov. Military applications. Zelenograd’s science and industry. N. P. Brusentsov. The Soviet economy and the IBM 360 copying. CONCLUSION. The Soviet military-industrial complex (MIC) and its features. Two models of the MIC: University Science in the United States and academic science in the USSR. Computational mathematics and mathematical education.
