This page lists people who are very well known in the Soviet Union and may be around the globe. As you can see very many of soviet geniuses were born or lived for quite a long time in Odessa. I know that some people especially from Moscow will say:
"What the hell is he talking about. All of them lived in Moscow." Yes, this is true but don’t forget that Moscow is the capital of the biggest country in the world. In Russia you had to live there in order to get anywhere. At the same time Odessa is just
a city which brought up so many talented people.
Of course this is not a complete listing, just an example.
