Can you give us a link or the name of this person?

I'm going to assume it's Leonid Kantorovich; it's the only Russian on the list [1] that also worked in Russia.

Leonid Kantorovich was the Nobel prize winner, but he was followed by people such as Glushkov (which wanted to build a Soviet internet essentially as a first step), Kitov and Fedorenko.

Outside the Soviet Union perhaps the most known is Paul Cockshott.
