Historical reference:
JSC "Research Corporation "Precision Instrument Engineering Systems" was formed on the basis of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise "Research Institute of Precision Instrument Engineering", created by government decree on January 27, 1986.
The basis of the research and design staff of the institute was the team of the laser department of the RNII KP, which was later transformed into the state unitary enterprise "Quantum-Optical Systems" with the transfer of production space of about 30,000 sq.m with the corresponding property.
By order of the Ministry of State Property of Russia dated October 13, 1998 No. 1318-r, the state unitary enterprise "Quantum-Optical Systems" was merged with the Research Institute of PP.
By Order of the General Director of the Russian Aviation and Space Agency dated December 3, 2001 No. 142, agreed with the Russian Ministry of Defense, the FSUE "NII PP" was determined to be the lead organization for the development of quantum optical systems and their implementation in rocket, space and aviation complexes military and socio-economic purposes, as well as international cooperation in this field of technology. By the same order, the Chief Designer of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise "NII PP" Viktor Daniilovich Shargorodsky was appointed General Designer of quantum optical systems for rocket, space and aviation technology. In February 2004, the Federal State Unitary Enterprise "NII PP" received the status of a Federal Research and Production Center. A little later, in August 2004, by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 1009, the Federal State Unitary Enterprise "Research Institute of Precision Instrument Engineering" was included in the list strategic enterprises countries. OJSC NPK SPP By Presidential Decree Russian Federation dated October 20, 2007 No. 1391 "On the open joint-stock company "Research and Production Corporation "Precision Instrument Engineering Systems", the proposal of the Government of the Russian Federation to transform the FSUE "NII PP" into an open Joint-Stock Company"Research and Production Corporation "Precision Instrument Engineering Systems" (JSC "NPK "SPP"), 100 percent of the shares of which are in federal ownership.
On October 16, 2009, FSUE NII PP was reorganized into OJSC NPK SPP.
Since August 2015, JSC NPK SPP has been reorganized into JSC NPK SPP.
The enterprise carries out a full cycle of the specialized process of creating quantum optical systems. The enterprise includes research departments, including design departments, a pilot plant, a testing bench base, and four out-of-town branches, which makes it possible to use the scientific, technical and production potential of the regions for the creation and testing of WWTPs:
- The branch in the city of Veliky Novgorod develops and manufactures video surveillance and information recording systems for aviation, television receivers for optical-location systems for viewing, detecting and tracking objects in air and outer space;
- The branch of the Institute of Laser Physics in St. Petersburg develops and supplies on-board and ground-based emitters for space and aviation facilities;

Nikita Khrushchev at the UN (was there a shoe?)
As you know, history develops in a spiral. This fully applies to the history of the United Nations. Over more than half a century of its existence, the UN has undergone many changes. Created in the wake of the euphoria of victory over Nazi Germany, the Organization set itself bold and largely utopian goals.
But time puts a lot of things into place. And hopes for creating a world without wars, poverty, hunger, lawlessness and inequality were replaced by a persistent confrontation between the two systems.
Natalia Terekhova talks about one of the most striking episodes of that time, the famous “Khrushchev’s boot”.
REPORTAGE:
On October 12, 1960, the most stormy meeting of the General Assembly in the history of the United Nations took place. On this day, the delegation of the Soviet Union, headed by Nikita Sergeevich Khrushchev, introduced a draft resolution on granting independence to colonial countries and peoples.
Nikita Sergeevich delivered, as usual, an emotional speech that abounded exclamation marks. In his speech, Khrushchev, without sparing expressions, denounced and denounced colonialism and the colonialists.
After Khrushchev, the representative of the Philippines rose to the podium of the General Assembly. He spoke from the position of a country that experienced all the hardships of colonialism and, after many years of liberation struggle, achieved independence: “In our opinion, the declaration proposed by the Soviet Union should cover and provide for the inalienable right to independence not only of the peoples and territories still remaining ruled by Western colonial powers, but also by the peoples of Eastern Europe and other areas, deprived of the freedom to exercise their civil and political rights and, so to speak, swallowed up by the Soviet Union.”
Listening to the simultaneous translation, Khrushchev exploded. After consulting with Gromyko, he decided to ask the Chairman for a point of order. Nikita Sergeevich raised his hand, but no one paid attention to him.
The most famous Foreign Ministry translator, Viktor Sukhodrev, who often accompanied Nikita Sergeevich on trips, spoke about what happened next in his memoirs: “Khrushchev loved to take his watch off his hand and twirl it. At the UN, he began banging his fists on the table in protest against the Filipino's speech. Clutched in his hand was a watch that had simply stopped.
And then Khrushchev, in his anger, took off his shoe, or rather, an open wicker sandal, and began to hit the table with his heel.”
This was the moment that went down in world history as the famous “Khrushchev’s boot.” The UN General Assembly Hall has never seen anything like it. A sensation was born right before our eyes.
And finally, the head of the Soviet delegation was given the floor:
“I protest against the unequal treatment of representatives of the states sitting here. Why is this lackey of American imperialism speaking out? He touches on an issue, he doesn’t touch on a procedural issue! And the Chairman, who sympathizes with this colonial rule, does not stop it! Is this fair? Gentlemen! Mr. Chairman! We live on earth not by the grace of God and not by your grace, but by the strength and intelligence of our great people of the Soviet Union and all peoples who are fighting for their independence.
It must be said that in the middle of Khrushchev’s speech, the simultaneous translation was interrupted, as the translators were frantically looking for an analogue to the Russian word “lack.” Finally, after a long pause, it was found English word"jerk", which has a wide range of meanings - from "fool" to "scum". Western reporters covering events at the UN in those years had to work hard until they found an explanatory dictionary of the Russian language and understood the meaning of Khrushchev’s metaphor.
