Detailed information about the works of Victor Glushkov can be found on site of Cybernetic Institute , or Wikipedia.
The Institute of Cybernetics has a small but beautiful park, with its entrance 24/7 free. You can find it easily. For example, take the western exit at "Teremkivska" underground station and walk south about 500 meters, and you will see the park.
First computers during Glushkov times occupied a number of special rooms and used for their input punched cards or tapes. So, the coordinates of the cache hidden can be found in this puzzle-punch-card.
