I think maybe so. I have a brochure from "STIMTI" in Vilnius,
describing their work starting in 1959. Neither my russian nor my
lithuanian are any good, but I can make out some comments about design
of magnetic disk systems. Possibly also computers back to the early
1970s if not sooner.
Later on they did make a VAX clone, though you can't tell that from
the writeup.
