	Kremvax - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Kremvax was announced on April 1, 1984 in a posting ostensibly originated there by Soviet leader Konstantin Chernenko.
		In an even more ironic historical footnote, kremvax became an electronic centre of the anti-communist resistance during the abortive coup of August 1991.

		Kremvax was announced on April1, 1984 in a posting ostensibly originated there by Sovietleader Konstantin Chernenko.
		During those threedays the Soviet UUCP network centreed on kremvax became theonly trustworthy news source for many places within the USSR.Though the sysops were concentrating on internalcommunications, cross-border postings included immediatetransliterations of Boris Yeltsin's decrees condemning thecoup and eyewitness reports of the demonstrations in Moscow'sstreets.
		In those hours, years of speculation thattotalitarianism would prove unable to maintain its grip onpolitically-loaded information in the age of computernetworking were proved devastatingly accurate - and theoriginal kremvax joke became a reality as Yeltsin and the newRussian revolutionaries of "glasnost" and "perestroika" madekremvax one of the timeliest means of their outreach to theWest.

	The kremvax hoax
		Obviously the article caused a flood of reactions, especially from the US, and of course I had taken care that they were all directed to my own mailbox.
		Interestingly, what was a hoax then, turned into reality in the years that followed, when the political climate changed so dramatically that the (for some!) unthinkable became true: network connectivity to the East Block, culminating in even full IP connectivity!
		And it was in 1991 that "kremvax" became reality too, when (with my official blessing ;-)) Vadim Antonov of Demos gave this name to one of his machines, now known as kremvax.demos.su.

		But, as Jerry Pournelle observed in this week's Byte.com Audio Review it's getting harder, even impossible, to make up stuff wackier or more unlikely than the stuff in the news these days.
		(We had a good time discussing some of the classic computer/Internet hoaxes, like the first e-mail message from KremVax, an alleged computer in the Soviet Union, back in 1984 (see The Jargon Dictionary: Kremvax) and the fabled write-only memory.)
		I'd been considering telling Byte.com readers about, say, Microsoft announcing it is abandoning the operating system business.
