Noticeable historical dudes

This dude also contributed to exact sciences, as the previous person did. But while Sofia was concentrated on mechanics and calculus, he dealt mostly with computer science and cryptanalysis.

- His first invention which I've learned about was the Turing Machine. This is the key abstract model of universal computer, which allowed mathematicians to proof a lot of useful facts about computers in general.
- His other invention sometimes can be found in science fiction about robots. It is the Turing Test - the test, which was suggested as a measure to estimate how "conscious" computer is.
I like how briefly and funny it is described in this short video:

- Also this cunning guy contributed to hacking the codes, made by Nazi's Enigma cipher machine. He had found the way to decipher Nazi secret messages without knowing the cipher key, which allowed Allies to know in advance about Nazi military operations and to be prepared for them.
Here is my favorite video about this cipher machine:

But did the society reward him properly for so impressive contribution to science, technology and even victory over the Nazis in the World War II, you'll ask? Well... No, instead they brought him to suicide, repressing and tormenting him just for being gay. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I've used his photo as a reference for the sketch.

The concept is the following:
- Drawing sketches of historical personalities, who especially interested me for any reason;
- Writing those reasons and all my subjectives thoughts about those persons in the description to each sketch;
- Posting the link in the description which let you know more about each person if you feel interested;
- Alternating women and men.

I also would greatly appreciate and encourage any thoughtful and civilized discussions and thoughts of a readers!

WARNING: descriptions may contain any bad things, which happened in human history, if they played major role in the life of described persons. But I think that most of them will not contain any NSFW stuff.
