Age - 34, from Moscow, Russia.

He lived on Zelenaya Street in the city of Lyubertsy, while I lived on nearby Kolhoznaya.  I was walking by a store called ‘Komfort’ when a young man hailed me.  This was how I met ‘Gena’.

We were friends for a long time and got married in 1996.  In 1998 our son Dmitriy was born.  Gena graduated from the radio technical trade school in Lyubertsy and worked for ten years as a TV repairman for Lyubertsy city television.

Starting in 2000, he began working as a lighting technician on the musical ‘Nord-Ost’.  He was responsible for all lighting for the show.  October 23^rd, 2002, was his shift, and Gena, together with the spectators of the musical, was captured by the terrorists.  I had no contact with him because he left his cell phone in the cloakroom.

After the assault on October 26^th, someone told me that Gena was alive.  We could not find him on the hospital lists.  It was not until October 28^th, after I called the prosecutor’s office, that I found out that Gena had died.

In all these 6 years I still cannot get used to the fact that he is no longer with us, and the pain does not cease even for a minute…
