Computer Russification

In computing, Russification involves the localization of computers and software, allowing the user interface of a computer and its software to communicate in the Russian language using Cyrillic script.

Problems associated with Russification before the advent of Unicode included the absence of a single character-encoding standard for Cyrillic (see Cyrillic script#Computer encoding).

History of the MS-DOS russification

The first official Russification of MS-DOS was carried out for MS-DOS 4.01 in 1989/1990, released on 1990-04-09. In Microsoft, the Russification project manager and one of its main developers was Nickolay Lyubovny (Николай Любовный). A Russian version of MS-DOS 5.0 was also developed in 1991, released on 1991-08-09. Based on an initiative of Microsoft Germany in March 1991, derivates of the Russian MS-DOS 5.0 drivers used for keyboard, display and printer localization support (DISPLAY.SYS, EGA.CPI, EGA2.CPI, KEYB.COM, KEYBOARD.SYS, MSPRINT.SYS, COUNTRY.SYS, ALPHA.EXE) could also be purchased separately (with English messages) as part of Microsoft's AlphabetPlus kit. This enabled English issues of MS-DOS 3.3, 4.01 and 5.0 to be set up for Eastern European countries like Czechoslovakia, Poland, Hungary, Yugoslavia, Romania and Bulgaria.

    this olympic lyricism you can't, compete with
    Globe travellin, throwin your verse like a javelin
    Things Fall Apart and MC's unravellin
    Backstage whisperin to management like
    "change the order, it's no way that we can rock after them"
    My man sport the 'fro like _What's Happenin?_
    From the latest hi-atus, The Roots back again

    And it's been that way, since Sergio Vallente
    Yo, The Roots holdin it down, is all you can say

    Word up I'm on somethin, stellar hold off course
    I'm gone bluntin, travel light and broadcast
