This is my paper on the situation with viruses in the USSR.
It was written in october-november of 1990, so there are
some notes to it:
1)It does not names all viruses in the SU, but this number
  is NOT too high. Maybe there are a couple of dozens, not more.
  If you'd got an information about hundred and more viruses
  in the USSR, don't beleive it !
2)Vienna (648) virus is dated by 1987 there. I don't know how
  it could be and where is a bug but three my friends independently
  points out to 1987 as a first time of our problems with
  this virus. This is the reason why I've left out this date
  in the paper, though ALL other sourcers points out to the 1988.

I try to make who-is-who in our field so I am interested in
names, adresses, fields of interests of antiviral researchers
all over the world. Another (and ORIGINAL) reason for this
interest is that I am writing (and modifing) the book devoted
to the problems connected with the different badware. I don't
want to make a catalog, but a textbook for students and future
antiviral researchers. It is going concurrently with a research
work, so I'm interested to discuss different ideas as wide as
possible.
