Even though a short periodical piece, it opens a window into Sergey’s background, the way some other excellent science books have discussed important characters – like “Surely You’re Joking Mr. Feynman” dove into Nobel Prize winning PhD Richard Feynman’s unique character, and the superb book “Laser: The Inventor, the Nobel Laureate, and the Thirty-Year Patent War” dove into the arcane story of Gordon Gould’s invention and development of the first lasers.

While some are less comfortable reading cultural phrases they are less familiar with, other folks whose families remember experiences of previously endured risky emigration, with its typical early poverty – can often understand the unusual character stories that often result from the voyages of long ago…..

Forget your past and you often take for granted the precious times and privileges of the present.

Sergey and Larry are both obviously outstanding brilliant guys and the cultural voyage described of Sergey’s early days is heartwarming and at times whimsical in ways that some can appreciate.

What very deserving guys and what astounding, amazing accomplishments !!

Leave the ethnicity out of it and focus on the individual please. What was the cultural fuel for Gates/Ellison/Hurley/Bezos/andonandon?
