 If the next game happens today, we’ve had 40 games in March
What the heck happened at the start of the calendar year?
The Tank Man round.
It all went downhill after that.

 I guess I'll need to learn from the masters at this game :-)
Well, I hope you win many more rounds, because you've done great at being the QM so far.

 Rabbi Menachem Mendelson Schneerson? (founder of the Lubavitch Hasidic sect)?
That's him. Menachem Mendel Schneerson was born in Ukraine, but fled to New York, and became the seventh Rebbe of Chabad-Lubavitch. In his last years, many Lubavitchers took up the belief that he was the Messiah, which Schneerson may or may not have encouraged.

I feel kind of bad, though, after Hominidae's brilliant observation.
No need to feel bad. I'm glad someone got it. Great pick and great guess!

Once you said our subject was more famous, I started thinking about emigres to the US. That’s when I remembered Schneerson, who is substantially famous.

Thanks Wintergreen. Next round will be in about 2-3 hours.

 I think no matter who this person turns out to be, we will find he is not particularly famous.
I believe that this person is more famous than all guesses, free or non-free, made so far.

It could be someone not associated with Russia or Ukraine and was just born there (or in East Prussia or something), but I have no idea who.
