In 1973, the MN Computer Center was the "mother" institute, from which the MN System Organization Control and Automation Service was formed. At the same time, the REVA Institute and the MN Data Processing Center were established as subordinate services. Then, first in 1980, the MN Data Processing Center merged into the REVA Institute, and later (in October 2000) the REVA Institute merged into the newly established MH News Command organization.

Minsk 22: the first copy was put into service at the Hungarian People's Army Computer Center (MN SZK) in 1967. However, in 1974 they received a Minsk-32 machine and moved to another location, while the Minsk-22 remained in place and became the property of the Zrinyi Miklós Military Academy.

The second copy was received by the Cybernetics Laboratory (KibLab) of JATE in 1968; it operated there until 1974, and then in another computer center until 1979.

Another copy was in operation at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (MTA SZTAKI ), the Beloiannisz Machine Factory, and Infelor; the interesting thing about the latter is that the main memory was expanded to 16 KB in-house development.

By 1973, the Hungarian People's Army (MN) Computer Center and other organizations formed the MN System Organization Management Mechanization and Automation Service (REVA), with a service headquarters operating under the General Staff and the REVA Institute (as well as the parallel MN Data Processing Center).

The Institute consisted of professionally specialized departments: a tactical, air defense and aviation, material technical system organization, and program design and software development and programming department were established.

REVA received the Minsk-32 computer in 1974, which was among the best of its time.

“On the way to the REVA Institute R-40 (used by the REVA Institute since the late 1970s) computer room, there were 3 checkpoints with armed guards – not counting the building’s own guard (HM-2). No modern banking data center is inferior to this: they are like a fortress, with very serious technical and mechanical protection.”
