I know they definitely cloned IBM System/360 mainframes.  The Bulgarians
apparently were good at cloning peripherals.  And the Soviets certainly
cloned the IBM PC.  Of course, they had their own architectures, too.

Some years ago, I think there was an article in IEEE CS Annals of Computing
about the Soviet computer scene.
