    Oh my. What an incredible person and one who had several amazing talents -- working well with people and portrait photography were just two of them. Very sad. Thanks, Nikolai.

    So sad to hear.............................

    Does anyone have an email or snail mail address for his family? We could all show that he will be missed by more than those in his own country but by people far and wide.

    That sucks. Cancer seems to touch way too many lives these days.
    Always lurking, sometimes participating. :D

    Yes. This was his last thread here.

    I think I first ran into Yuri's work on DPReview forums more than ten years ago.
