History
Works on creation of the Russian version of the UNIX operating system were begun in 1982 - 1983 at Institute of atomic energy of I.V. Kurchatov. Copies of the UNIX operating system were brought to the same time to Moscow (v6 and v7). Russification of UNIX and its adaptation to the Russian iron was the main task. With assistance of specialists of other organizations adaptation of a system to the Russian equipment (first of all to the machines SM-1420 and SM-4) and to conditions began. UNAS was originally unofficial name, and then the teacher of MEPhI V.V. Vasilkov thought up the new official name PEOPLE. Along with Institute of I.V. Kurchatov, at Institute of Advanced training of Minavtoprom were engaged in UNIXa russification, and the system here "updated" had the name MIOS (Machine-independent Operating System). Further there was consolidation of two development teams, and in February, 1989 one of the first cooperatives for software development and development of a computer network which received the name PEOPLE was created. Sergey Leontyev, Alexey Rudnev, Vadim Antonov, Valera Bardin, Dima Volodin, Leonid Egoshin, Sergey Anshukov and Alexey Dolbin were among creators of the PEOPLE system. Further DEMOS began to install on such machines as SM-4, the Electronic engineer-1082 and Elbrus. In 1985 there was version 2.0 of the People OS in which source texts of BSD 4.2 were used.
However People was not the only UNIX operating system. The queue to INEUM (Institute of Electronic Managing Machines, Head CB Minpribora) there was an active work of development of the next Russian UNIX called by INMOS (the Interactive Mobile operating system).
