Genrikh Altshuller: Genius and Tragedy

Genrikh Altshuller, a brilliant Soviet engineer, saw innovation not as luck,

but as a systematic process. He created TRIZ, the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving,

an algorithm designed to unlock groundbreaking solutions. In 1950,

with unwavering conviction, Altshuller courageously wrote to Stalin, critiquing Soviet science. His pursuit of

truth came at a devastating cost: immediate arrest and imprisonment in the unforgiving gulag.

Even amidst the suffering, he continued to refine TRIZ, his intellect an

unbreakable flame. Today, Altshuller's innovation algorithm empowers problem-solvers globally, a powerful legacy

born from tragedy. Explore the stories of history’s greatest minds on Epiqon
