I think the "Communications of the ACM" had some articles about
computing in the Eastern Block in June 1991.

Are you aware of the "KGB hackers" case in Germany? German hackers
broke into systems, downloaded all data they could get, went to East
Berlin, and sold it to the Russians. There's a nice German movie about
the whole case, called "23". I don't know if it's been synchronized to
other languages, but that movie is really worth watching. Full of
historic hardware. :-)
