This is one of Rashid Nezhmetdinov's most brilliant games. Here's a little information (from Wikipedia) about him:

Rashid Gibiatovich Nezhmetdinov (Russian: Рашид Гибятович Нежметдинов; Tatar Cyrillic: Рәшит Һибәт улы Нәҗметдинов, Latin: Räşit Hibät ulı Näcmetdinov, [ræˈʃit næʑmetˈdinəf]; December 15, 1912–June 3, 1974) was an eminent Soviet chess player, chess writer, and Checkers player.
