Where he lived very well — his father, a professor who used to work for the benefit of the Soviet economy at Gosplan, was torn off at the University of Maryland, and his mother got a job at NASA.
However, the family was able to leave the USSR during the Iron Curtain only because of a program to support people with Jewish roots: it remains to be seen how the future billionaire's life would have turned out otherwise. Besides, the most famous search engine wouldn't exist right now.
Summary: If you have an idea of modern Internet technologies, the Google search engine and use it not only to watch pirated movies, then you know how the departure story ended. The 21st place in the world in the ranking of the richest people, invaluable benefits for humanity and 20 billion dollars allocated to charity — all this is Sergey Brin. Together with Larry Page, of course.
Joseph Alexandrovich Brodsky
In the case of Brodsky, one can argue about his non-recognition in his Homeland for a long time and persistently. There are two ways to look at the situation: on the one hand, Brodsky was idolized by the intelligentsia and the caring "sixties." On the other hand, the official machine of the USSR denied the existence of his poetry as such and used its repressive apparatus to silence the poet.
In 1972, the Motherland decided to officially say goodbye to the poet — Brodsky was faced with a choice: expulsion from the country or the close attention of the KGB, which would certainly end with forced treatment in a psychiatric hospital. The poet chose immigration — recognition abroad gave him the opportunity to live a comfortable life and write many more wonderful poems.
Summary: Having received eight grades of education in the USSR, Brodsky held university professorships in the USA, impressing his American colleagues with his exceptional talent. He died there, in 1996, in New York, without ever returning to Russia. As he himself mentioned, "the best part of me is already there — my poems." The greatest Russian poet was buried in Venice, in a Protestant cemetery.
Yul Brynner
What a twist! It turns out that the legendary American actor is Russian: he was born in Vladivostok in 1920. His life could serve as a real scenario for an exciting adventure film about a touring circus performer — Yuli Borisovich (that's how Brynner was named at birth).
