The best coders I have ever met were Russian.

They have a knack for it. Perhaps it’s genetic?

Great coders in Serbia as well...more Slavs.

For the past 100 years, many intelligent Russians gravitated towards complex mathematics, physics and other very technical areas in order to avoid (as much as possible) the poison of the communist state.

It sounds strange to us, but to them the world of math and science was a mental escape from the evils of their society.

The computer science field is an offshoot of the math and hard science culture.

“The best coders I have ever met were Russian.”

Yet we broke their codes at least up through the 1980s.

Not much to do during long, cold, Russian winters.
