THE ARCHIVIST’S MAP / УКАЗАТЕЛЬ ТЕМ
Eleven drawers. Plenty of loose ends.
Every entry gets a subject, inventor, year, and evidence label: Working device · Prototype · Proposal · Unverified claim. Abandoned projects get an additional tag. A place in the catalogue is not a claim that an invention worked.
FROM THE ARCHIVE DESK
Behind every machine, a person.
A growing archive of Soviet inventions: the problems they tackled, the people who built them, and the paths their ideas took. Some became working tools. Some remained experiments. Some deserve another look.
The first catalogue cards are filed. Full stories are being prepared.
