In 2003, Perelman, a Saint Petersburg native, became known for solving the Poincaré conjecture, the solution that had eluded mathematicians for almost a century.
In 2006, Perelman was awarded a Fields Medal for this work, but declined to accept it. Sir John Ball, president of the International Mathematical Union, spent a chilly day in Saint Petersburg trying to convince Perelman to accept it, but failed miserably.
In 2010, Perelman was awarded a $1 million Millennium Prize, but once again Perelman declined it.
“I'm not interested in money or fame.” he was quoted as saying when declining the award.
Perelman lives with his mother in a spartan apartment in a St. Petersburg suburb. He plays a violin.
Overall, he is a sample of the true Soviet person. He was raised in the USSR. He is aimed at creation and achievements, not money. A really rare species nowadays.

Just wanted to criticize us for what we're doing inside our borders instead of outside, for a change
(lemmygrad.ml)
There's a lot of unjust persecutions around the world, yet i could also talk about the land of the free, who persecute not one, but two candidates, Donald Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., for having a different opinion of the world, and quite possibly a third if they rigged the primaries against Bernie Sanders, and also more generally having only two political parties who can be helped by the wealthy, and even voting machines.
I'm from France and it's worse, the u.s. may only have two political parties, but here we need to get votes from mayors to be able to present ourselves, of course this number has gone up and is now public. It's another way to prevent changes.
Even if they had the authorization they would still not be known by depoliticized citizens.
I'm harsh but we're indeed no stranger to authoritarian measures such as dissolving pacific organizations for their point of view(, only one example), or demonizing popular speakers such as Étienne Chouard(, pro-democracy activist), and many many more, whose opinions can only be heard thanks to the relatively recent Internet, but they're making laws to protect "us"(themselves) from what they call disinformation, hate speech, or genocide denial(, how easy it would be to censor any debunking of their recent uyghur lies under the guise of genocide denial, it was the same argument for Yugoslavia, the Darfur, and certainly more). We're just living in a bubble, with our own personal lives, yet voting.
In both countries, we're not aware of what, e.g., a communist news program could look like, we deem the only kind of information we know as objective, and even diverse because there's a center-left and a center-right(, revolutions are extreme hence the status quo is conserved). Multisubjectivity is closer to the true objectivity.
The few of us who read foreign medias would mean german ones, or eventually italian or swedish, sometimes outside the west as long as it's aligned with "the"(our) "universal" truth.
When a different view of the world from outside irrupts in our bubble, they're simply wrong, as a proof, everybody we know disagree with them, but since we don't read their medias, we're unable to ever explain why this other side could think that they are the good guys(, we'll only say that they're propagandised, which isn't the same as being able to give any details about the content of this propaganda ; yet i'm not sure that their(, russians, chinese, cubans, venezuelans, iranians, ...,) citizens would be unable to briefly describe our propaganda, i.d.k.)
Of course, nothing is perfect, including bourgeois republics(, in democracies the power belong to the cratos, not to representatives who establish themselves the rules of their representation), and i guess i just wanted to criticise political/'non-economic' imperfections inside the west instead of western influence outside our borders for once.
/endrant, sry for the length.

Ultra Despair Troopers: an upcoming danganronpa fanfiction visual novel, brought to you by pointtwogo and yours truly
(lemmygrad.ml)
ARE YOU READY TO DO YOUR PART, TROOPER?
Hope Arc (by me): The communist kung fu master, Bruce T (for tankie) , is on the run. Junko Enoshima's Doomerist Jihad has swept the nation and many more, leaving in its wake destroyed city and civilians murdered in cold blood. And worse, his enemy, the Grand Bashar Mukuro Ikusaba, is always only a few steps behind him with an army of monokumas, Despair Speakers, Reserves, and SS at her disposal.
But Bruce holds on to hope. Hope that things will get better, and hope that he will be able to find and join the nascent Red Army.
Despair Arc (by pointtwogo): A grey-scale blurry landscape where nothing is quite as it seems. You see that mail box over there? Go over to it, try touching it. Do not be shocked if you can only touch thin air. This is where the ends of reality are unmet. Do something and you will forget it in a few moments. There's no place for the present here. The past is infinite. Do you see it? See the grey? My dear, this is not real time. You are years behind. But do not worry. In here, in this gray-scale, what have you to worry? Close your eyes. You need not them no more. The grey, the dark and the dull will be in place of you. Let your mind go to the dust. This is your fate anyways. Rest in pieces.
It's about this guy who's an Ultra Despair Trooper, also known as the Reserve Army of Despair.
