“This is the first mini-sculpture from the project “Suka!”, that we set this year. In Yaroslav Val technical the symbol of Kiev – Europe’s first computer. Or as it was called – the first small electronic computing machine (MMM). It was created in the capital the Institute of electrical engineering under the guidance of academician Sergei Lebedev,” – says “Today” Yulia Bevzenko, author of “Suka!”.

At the opening of the symbol of the city recalled the history of the first Kyiv computer. Its development began in 1948, and the first launch took place in November 1950.

The computer was in a two-storey building on the territory of Feofania.
