is there a good article i can read or documentary i can watch about the history of tetris because i just cant shake this crazy feeling that the movie is overlaying weird racisms and action scenes on a story about a business deal

here is the first in an eight part article series about soviet computing and how tetris arose from that scene. the tetris story itself starts in part 3 if for some reason you're not interested in learning about early soviet computers

lmao of course Robert Maxwell shows up all over this

"In the end, Stein wound up inking a deal in June of 1987 with the British publisher Mirrorsoft, a well-funded operation owned by the newspaper tycoon Robert Maxwell. Through a Byzantine array of tax dodges involving a charitable trust based in Lichtenstein — the Maxwell business empire was built on the most ethically shaky of foundations, as would become clear when it collapsed in scandal a few years later — Maxwell also owned a controlling interest in the American publisher Spectrum Holobyte, an up-and-comer best known for their complicated, very un-Tetris-like military simulations."
