Is there anything more on this language? I do not understand this example source code, but I'd really like to.

Here's the scanned copy of ПП-БЭСМ book, in Russian: http://ershov-arc.iis.nsk.su/archive/eaindex.asp?lang=1&did=...

From the ToC it seems to be a complete description of the language.

I have perused those archives many times, more important than the book (of which I have a translated hardback copy), are the notes which include the hand written (and commented) assembly for every draft of the compiler. The hard part is that its not the same as the final version so you have to interpolate the changes.

I have a commented example: https://github.com/xldenis/besm/blob/master/examples/chapter...

I tried to transliterate the syntax to ascii but the 'real' syntax uses some characters which are hard to represent in monospace text.
