kremvax /krem-vaks/ n.   [from the then large number of {Usenet}    {VAXen} with names of the form foovax] Originally, a fictitious    Usenet site at the Kremlin, announced on April 1, 1984 in a posting    ostensibly originated there by Soviet leader Konstantin Chernenko.    The posting was actually forged by Piet Beertema as an April Fool's    joke.   Other fictitious sites mentioned in the hoax were moskvax and    {kgbvax}.   This was probably the funniest of the many April Fool's    forgeries perpetrated on Usenet (which has negligible security    against them), because the notion that Usenet might ever penetrate    the Iron Curtain seemed so totally absurd at the time.          In fact, it was only six years later that the first genuine site in    Moscow, demos.su, joined Usenet.   Some readers needed convincing    that the postings from it weren't just another prank.   Vadim    Antonov, senior programmer at Demos and the major poster from there    up to mid-1991, was quite aware of all this, referred to it    frequently in his own postings, and at one point twitted some    credulous readers by blandly asserting that he _was_ a hoax!          Eventually he even arranged to have the domain's gateway site    named kremvax, thus neatly turning fiction into fact and    demonstrating that the hackish sense of humor transcends cultural    barriers.   [Mr. Antonov also contributed the Russian-language    material for this lexicon. --ESR]          In an even more ironic historical footnote, kremvax became an    electronic center of the anti-communist resistance during the    bungled hard-line coup of August 1991.   During those three days the    Soviet UUCP network centered on kremvax became the only trustworthy    news source for many places within the USSR.   Though the sysops were    concentrating on internal communications, cross-border postings    included immediate transliterations of Boris Yeltsin's decrees    condemning the coup and eyewitness reports of the demonstrations in    Moscow's streets.   In those hours, years of speculation that    totalitarianism would prove unable to maintain its grip on    politically-loaded information in the age of computer networking    were proved devastatingly accurate -- and the original kremvax joke    became a reality as Yeltsin and the new Russian revolutionaries of    `glasnost' and `perestroika' made kremvax one of the timeliest means    of their outreach to the West.
