==== Setun computer ====
Sobolev continued to support the project both by finding assistants and participating in the discussion. In 1956, Brusentsov started the design with four engineers and five technicians plus  himself. The whole team worked in a 60-square-meter room with laboratory tables, where they designed and assembled the machine by hand. Zhogolev worked as the main programmer, and together with him, Brusentsov developed the computer architecture of Setun. In 1958, the team growed into a 20-person team, and the first model of the Setun computer was assembled. The name Setun comes from a river near the University.<ref name="Brousentsov" /><ref name=":0" />

After the first model of Setun was built, the [[Kazan Mathematical Machines Factory]] was decreed by the Soviet Cabinet of Ministers to mass-produce the Setun computers. However, the leadership at the Kazan plant was not interested in large-scale computer production. The second model built in the factory was sent back because the plant managers and officials maintained that the computer was not yet reliable. The team was forced to manually adjust the second model. On November 30, 1961, the director of the Kazan factory was forced to sign an act which ended the attempts to cease the production of the Setun computer. The computers were then produced at the rate of 15-20 machines anually until 1965, when the plant refused to continue the production as the sold price of the computer was too low.

While Setun attracted significant interest from abroad, the Ministrey of Foreign Trade never filled the orders received. Only 50 Setun computers are manufractured, 30 of which was used in the higher education institutions inside the Soviet Union.<ref name="Brousentsov" /><ref name=":0" />
