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.
