Vice magazine has a nice article on Alexey Patzinov, the man who created the best selling game ever made, you guessed it right, Tetris, the brick game that caused craze during the nineties and created an entire clone industry around it, who didn't own a little lcd tetris clone gaming device back then?.
The article gives some revealing facts about the life of Mr. Patzinov such as his early work on speech recognition for the academy of science in the USSR (and close ties beetwen the academy and the KGB), immigration to the USA, his work at Microsoft etc.
Personally i have always felt the greatest respect for russian programmers, they are incredibly smart, they also like old fashioned Pascal and Delphi (like me) and are immensely productive under very low conditions.
I will recall some stories about russian programmers in another article, here you can find the article on Patzinov.
