Discover the hidden history of the Cold War's secret digital arms race. Hit that SUBSCRIBE button to [TỰ ĐIỀN] for more incredible historical deep dives!

To save their command economy, brilliant cybernetic pioneers like Anatoly Kitov and Viktor Glushkov proposed a nationwide computer network called OGAS. This $20 billion project terrified the CIA, who feared a perfectly optimized Soviet economy could win the Cold War.

Explore the ultimate historical paradox: how the nation obsessed with central control failed to build the ultimate centralization tool, while the West built the open web we use today. 🚀 Level up your coding skills with Boot.dev!
