This amazing man was a talented USSR actor, Andrei Mironov.
He died unfortunately.
Yes, very exciting

I like him very much.

Looks great. I always was wondering about the screensaver marketing. I saw several website, but do you think is it possible to count on it as a business with good income? I am very interested on it, cause its not as hard as developing a game.

This is the non-profit project.
An income? Developing it costs...
(an Authenticode Certificate, 3D scans, Visual Studio Pro and others)

This screen saver has a simple game engine (shaders, file manager, thread pool, XAudio2 module, etc.)
It is like a simple game, compatible with 3DVision, HD3D and Windows 7 Logo.
