Age 29; Russia, Moscow.
Left
behind a wife and five-year-old son.
After 15 years
of effort, Yuri’s parents were rewarded with a loving son, who was to be their
only child. He was born in the beautiful
Ukrainian city of Zelenodolsk,
the “city of electrical engineers”, on May 4th, 1973.
“Yura” grew up
humble, sincerely, and friendly boy.
Since early childhood he was surrounded by friends. Like all children, he went to kindergarten
and school.
In 1989 he
moved to Moscow,
where he finished 11th grade and entered the Moscow Institute of
Electrical Engineering, graduating in 1996.
He worked for Mosehnergo at Transformer Station #26. He quickly rose
through the professional ranks, gaining the respect and authority of his
friends and colleagues.
While in
college, he met his first and only love, Svetlana, whom he affectionately
called “Solnyshko” (Sunny). He loved her
very much, and was true to her even unto the last minutes of his life. When ‘Yura’ understood that gas was being
used, he removed his sweater and covered his wife’s face with it, saving her
from certain death. Svetlana survived.
His life had
everything: love, confidence, hope, movement towards a goal, and success, but
at age 29 everything was lost in an instant. Only love remained, as well as the light and
warmth of his soul.
You are far
from us now,
But even now in
the still of the night,
Shining like a
bright star
The light of
your Soul gives us a kind light!
… After the
hostages were released, his friends, loved ones, and colleagues from work long
and carefully searched for Yuri at the Moscow
hospitals and morgues, knocking at every door.
They did not find him among the living or the dead. The found Yuri after ten days of searching, a
“John Doe” at Moscow
city hospital #70.
We buried him
on November 8th, 2002,
in the Archangel Nikolai cemetery. He was buried alongside five other comrades
in misfortune who also perished at “Nord-Ost”.

Петр Сидоренков, потерявший в театральном центре сына Юрия, намерен взыскать со столичных властей 500 тысяч долларов в качестве компенсации вреда, причиненного смертью кормильца. «29-летний Юрий Сидоренков отправился смотреть мюзикл «Норд-Ост» вместе со своей женой. Как она потом рассказывала, когда начали пускать газ, муж закутал ее свитером. Женщина выжила, а ее муж, который воспользовался только носовым платком, погиб», — рассказал адвокат ГАЗЕТЕ.
По словам адвоката, отец погибшего в течение нескольких дней не мог найти сына ни среди живых, ни среди мертвых. И обнаружил его тело только после того, как объехал все морги. Впрочем, о том, что свекр обратится в суд, вдова Юрия Сидоренкова Светлана узнала только от корреспондента ГАЗЕТЫ: «Мы перезваниваемся с Петром Ильичом, но он не сказал мне, что сделал это. Даже если адвокат выиграет дело, Юру все равно не вернешь, поэтому я не собираюсь ни с кем судиться, нервы мотать. Если можно было бы деньгами поправить дело, я бы квартиру продала… Я отдала Петру Ильичу всю до копеечки компенсацию в размере 100 тысяч рублей, которая полагается семьям погибших после штурма на Дубровке, — мне как бывшей заложнице выплатили 50 тысяч. Я получила все, что мне полагалось, а чужого мне не надо». По словам Светланы, они с Юрием жили вместе с ее родителями: «Муж часто ездил к отцу, помогал ему».

Peter Sidorenkov, who lost his son Yuri at the theatrical center, intends to sue the city government for 500 thousand dollars in damages due to the death of a breadwinner. “29 year-old Yuri Sidorenkov went to the musical ‘Nord-Ost’ together with his wife. As she later stated, when they started to use the gas, her husband wrapped her up in his sweater. She survived, but her husband, who was only using a handkerchief, died,” Sidorenkov’s lawyer reported to Gazeta.
According to the lawyer, over the course of several days the deceased man’s father could not find his son among the living or the dead. He only found the body after going to all the morgues (in Moscow). Yuri’s widow found out that her father-in-law was going to court only after she was told by a correspondent from Gazeta: “We called up Pyotr Ilych, but he never told me that he was doing this. Even if the lawyer wins the case it won’t bring back Yuri and so I don’t plan on suing anyone and ruining my nerves. If money could solve the matter I’d even sell the apartment… I gave Pyotr Ilych all the money from Yuri’s compensation, 100 thousand rubles ($4000), down to the last kopeck, the money that families of the dead were given after the assault on Dubrovka. I got 50 thousand rubles ($2000) for being a hostage. I got everything that I was to get, and I didn’t want anyone else’s.” In Svetlana’s words, her husband and her lived with her parents relatives, but Yuri: “often went over to his father’s and helped him out.”
