From “UNFORTUNATE VICTORY”, in Moscow Ko Written by CSS, on 15-03-2007 07:40 By Aleksander Melman and Vladislav Sedletskiy    Only yesterday, the friends and loved ones of Yuri Danilovich Zhabotinsky heard the tragic news. We wrote about him and his wife Tatiana in the preceding issue of ‘MK’. Tatiana had come to Moscow for a few days from their home in Rybinsk, so that they could celebrate their 23rd wedding anniversary together, and she had talked her husband into buying tickets for ‘Nord-Ost’.     On Sunday their daughter Olga found her mother at the Sklifosovsky Institute. Tatiana Zhabotinskaya is still in grave condition in the intensive care ward. Olga was unable to find her father, despite going to all the hospitals listed as receiving hostages. Only in the evening of that same day was the body of Yuri Danilovich Zhabotinsky identified at Forensic Morgue #9 by his colleagues.     Yuri Zhabotinsky was an outstanding person. He was a doctor of technology, and had once been a teacher. In Moscow he worked as the director of department of information technology for the Consolidated Irkutsk Aviation Production Company. His main area of activity was avionics. His wife and daughter live in Rybinsk. Yuri Danilovich lately had divided his time between Rybinsk and Moscow, and was often away on business, directing several ventures. He was intelligent by nature, intellectual, very energetic, and a fellow who loved a good joke. He adored his two-year-old grandson, who was named Nikolai Nikolaevich in honor of his other grandfather. This year he had purchased an apartment in Moscow, and was getting ready to move his wife to the capital.
