Edit: Was not aware of the Torovoltos copypasta when I wrote the below.
That sounds more Greek than Russian.
“Lën Nikolaevitch Torpravi(tel)sky” would be a Russified calque of Torvalds’ name, although that has at least a couple of issues with it. (1: The first word is literally “Linen”. Same root, but no personal name developed from that root in Russian that I can see. 2: No-one has either surname.)

I think you may be Gen Z.
Technically on the cusp of Gen X / Millennial. Been on the Internet a looong time, but I still don’t know all the memes.
Having now web-searched that name, I am now aware of the copypasta.
You truly are old, aren’t you?
If you wanted to say what I said without using a genericised trademark, how would you say it?
Nice username by the way.
Glad that you educated yourself before it was about to be…
