From your VAX link - it was written in Cyrillic, because it was meant to be read by the inevitable Russian reverse-engineers. Russia lagged on chip design, so they stole US chip designs for their own computer industry, and told everybody they were original.
Interestingly, it's a word by word translation of the English phrase so it doesn't make any sense in Russian. I don't know if those reverse engineers would have guessed what it meant.
