Dorodnitsyn Computing Centre

The Dorodnitsyn Computing Centre is a research institute in Moscow focused on mathematical algorithms and software development. It works on numerical methods and computational techniques to solve complex problems across science, engineering, and related fields.

The institute was founded in 1955 following a decision by the Soviet Council of Ministers. It grew out of an applied mathematics department that was previously part of the Steklov Mathematical Institute.

The center serves as a meeting place where mathematicians and computer scientists work together on problems that matter to many fields. The work done here shapes how people think about solving difficult challenges with computation.

This is a research institution and not a general visitor destination. Visiting requires an academic or professional connection to the institute or its work.

The famous computer game Tetris was created in the 1980s by Alexey Pajitnov while he worked at this center. What started as a mathematical experiment grew into a game played by millions around the world.
