abstract
  • Alexey Leonidovich Pajitnov (Алексей Леонидович Пажитнов, transliterated as Aleksei Leonidovich Pazhitnov, born 1956) is a computer engineer from Russia living in the United States, who developed the popular game Tetris while working for the Computing Center of the Soviet Academy of Sciences, a Soviet government-founded R&D center. Despite being the developer of Tetris, Pajitnov did not profit from his creation; in accordance with USSR copyright law at the time of the game's publication, rights were owned by the government and it was thus distributed freely throughout the USSR and Eastern Bloc countries. He only started profiting from his creation by 1996 when he and Henk Rogers formed The Tetris Company.
