Vladimir Pokhilko (Russian: ''Владимир Похилко'') (7 April 1954 in Moscow – 21 September 1998 in Palo Alto) was a Russian entrepreneur and academic who specialized in human–computer interaction. A friend of the Tetris creator Alexey Pajitnov, he was the first clinical psychologist to conduct experiments using the game. He played an important role in the subsequent development and marketing of the game, and a 1999 article in the Forbes magazine credited him for "co-inventing the seminal videogame Tetris".〔(When startups become blowups ) by Jon Swartz. Forbes, 10 June 1999.〕 In 1989, he and Pajitnov founded the 3D software technology company AnimaTek in Moscow. While attempting to create software for INTEC (a company that they started) that would be made for "people's souls", they developed the idea for El-Fish. After suffering financial difficulties at his software company, AnimaTek, he murdered his wife Elena Fedotova (38) and their son Peter (12), then committed suicide. Shortly before his death, Pokhilko penned a note. The police initially did not release the content of the note, saying that it was not a suicide note, and they didn't know who authored it.〔(Pushed past the brink ) by Matt Beer and Jacob. San Francisco Chronicle, 24 September 1998.〕 The content of the note was released in 1999; it read:〔(Report names father as killer P.A. Police show revealing note ).
