Micromir is multi-platform text editor created in the mechanics and mathematics of Moscow state University in 1980-ies. It was used as a professional, but is better known for its use in the educational process at school, vocational school and University.

The development was carried out under the leadership of A. G. Kushnirenko. The editor became the first training-oriented text editor, and one of the first office programs developed in the USSR.

The editor had hypertext capabilities (moving to a file with a name in the cursor area by a special command), and also allowed the user to maintain a hierarchical directory system (the file had an extension .dir) even on architectures that did not have a developed file system.

A microcosm of recent versions has windowing, working with blocks and tables, of the ability to handle tabular data, macros, shortcut replacement. The editor can be considered as an educational one when mastering fundamental concepts from the field of text processing and General methods of information editing.
