An interesting fact about the creator of Ethereum, Vitalik Buterin, is that he was born in Russia, in the city of Kolomna, on January 31, 1994, but at the age of six, he emigrated to Canada with his family. Despite his Russian background, he became one of the most influential people in the world of cryptocurrency thanks to the creation of Ethereum.

Another interesting point: the idea of Ethereum was first described by him in a white paper at the end of 2013 when he was only 19 years old. He saw the potential of blockchain technology beyond just cryptocurrency and suggested creating a platform with a broader range of applications, especially for decentralized applications (dApps).
