Minsk was a family of mainframe computers that were developed and produced in the Byelorussian SSR from 1959 to 1975.^[1]

ALGOL

ALGOL (short for "Algorithmic Language") is a family of imperative computer programming languages originally developed in 1958.

See Minsk family of computers and ALGOL

In computer programming, assembly language (alternatively assembler language or symbolic machine code), often referred to simply as assembly and commonly abbreviated as ASM or asm, is any low-level programming language with a very strong correspondence between the instructions in the language and the architecture's machine code instructions.

ES EVM

The ES EVM (translit, "Unified System of Electronic Computing Machines"), or YeS EVM, also known in English literature as the Unified System or Ryad (Ряд, "Series"), is a series of mainframe computers generally compatible with IBM's System/360 and System/370 mainframes, built in the Comecon countries under the initiative of the Soviet Union between 1968 and 1998. Minsk family of computers and ES EVM are Science and technology in Belarus.

IBM System/360

The IBM System/360 (S/360) is a family of mainframe computer systems that was announced by IBM on April 7, 1964, and delivered between 1965 and 1978. It was the first family of computers designed to cover both commercial and scientific applications and a complete range of applications from small to large.

Mainframe computer

A mainframe computer, informally called a mainframe or big iron, is a computer used primarily by large organizations for critical applications like bulk data processing for tasks such as censuses, industry and consumer statistics, enterprise resource planning, and large-scale transaction processing. Minsk family of computers and mainframe computer are mainframe computers.
