And I think here more ppl, who read forum, but not wery often post messages.

I had a spectrum as my first computer in the early 90's and remember reading an article about the two particular Russian clones that sounded pretty cool at them.

I also remember reading that the Speccy first became popular in the USSR because their small size made them easy to smuggle in.

I just found a list of members of ATO Amiga Translator's Organisation.  The list was last updated in September 2001 but there were 13 Russian members so it possible some of them may still be reachable on the same emails.

only two? i listen about 6-8 basic revision of original zx, and 3-4 enchanced version with many updates.

No, Speccy popular, because it has simple scheme, and many Engineers may repeat this on soviet elements base. Becouse in 80 plain russian people can't buy any things from foreign country. And for Speccy it need to buy only CPU chip, and someone imported contraband these chips.
First time, when i see original ZX - about 2003-2004.

Hi and welcome from Holland

I remember Russian programmers on Commodore 64 and Amiga's though, one of the best on the planet. Don't ask me about titles though, can't remember. Back in the day I was thinking, wow these guys really know what they are doing, given the next to nothing resources at the time  :-D
