The Specialist (Russian: Специалист) is a DIY computer designed in Soviet Union.
Its description was published in Modelist-Konstructor (Russian: Моделист-Конструктор), a magazine for scale model builders in 1987.
The original construction was developed by a professional technical school teacher two years earlier.
It was much more advanced than previous DIY computers, because it had a higher graphical image resolution (384x256) and a "transparent" video system, which did not slow down the CPU when both the CPU and the video system tried to access the RAM simultaneously.
It gained limited popularity with hobbyists, though some factories produced DIY kits (Lik for example).
