September 21, 2015 - Twenty-five years to the Russian Fidonet

The first nodes of the Fidonet network in Russia appeared in Novosibirsk, their system operators were Vladimir Lebedev and Yevgeny Chupriyanov (known under the pseudonym — Eric Fletcher). On September 21, 1990, these sites first appeared in the Czechoslovak segment of the global nodelist:

The future of Fidonet can easily turn out to be even more radiant, but it is time to tell about this in due time, and my today's story is over.
