From Wikipedia
Akademset (Russian: Академсеть, Academic Network), or All-Union Academic network, was a computer network that digitally connected scientific and civil institutions across the Soviet Union established in 1978. It was a Soviet forerunner to the Internet and had a connection with ARPANET and other Western analogues using the common digital standard called X.25. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union it was re-created under the name ROKSON (РОКСОН), and nowadays its surviving components may be considered as a local area network within the Runet and the Internet.
