Cemetery of Soviet computers.
To those of you who are fascinated by old computing stuff, here's a website showing loads of photos of 60s-80s Russian minicomputers [PDP8/PDP11-style] in a long-abandoned datacentre.

Re: Cemetery of Soviet computers.
They did put huge amounts of effort into cloning code-compatible computers, particularly DEC machines but also the IBM 360. If they'd put the same amount of effort into developing their own computer designs they could have been world leaders (as the Russians are now in rather less respectable areas of computing).
