5 referenced events from the Ternary Dreams archive.
Boris Malinovsky is born in the Ivanovo region of Russia.
Malinovsky is called up straight after finishing secondary school; demobilization is expected in 1941; instead, the war begins.
His department at the Kyiv computing centre starts a decade of work on the UMShN 'Dnepr', a universal transistor control computer; Glushkov, Malinovsky and Kukharchuk set its design principles against widespread skepticism.
At the defense Glushkov tells the council that although the two formally co-led the Dnepr project, nine-tenths of the work, especially at the end, was Malinovsky's.
The war veteran, Dnepr designer and historian of Soviet computing dies at 98.
