Уважаемые Ира и Лиза. Увы, только сегодня узнал, что Юры не стало в марте. Мои глубочайшие соболезнования. Талантливый, энергичный и очень добрый человек, коллега по кафедре, а главное – надежный друг. Таким Юра был и останется навсегда в моей памяти.

Dear Irina and Liza, our deepest condolences for the premature loss of Yuri from your life. He was an exceptional person, we never stop learning how to appreciate life in full. Thank you!

My condolences. We have lost a great scientist, person and colleague.

It is hard to go on. Life takes its toll and it is difficult to understand.
He will be in our memories.

I was so sorry to hear that Yuri has passed. He was a great scientist recognized as outstanding by the broad community.

I was very sad to hear of Yuri's passing and wish to extend my deepest sympathy to his family, friends and colleagues. He was an exceptional scientist and a wonderful person and I was privileged to know him. May he rest in peace.

He was one of those people you remember in life. Our paths crossed infrequently but he was always helpful. He helped me communicate into Bulgaria. Very sorry to hear this news .

A very sad loss of a great scientist and a good man. My condolence to all of his family.

I offer my condolences to Yuri's family, friends and colleagues. I knew him as a future-thinking scientist with a fun, social personality. He will be deeply missed by his professional colleagues and even more missed by his family and friends. Rest in peace, dear Yuri.

My deepest sympathies to you and your family. Yuri was an active member on the Editorial Board of our journal, Precision Nanomedicine, and a good personal friend from CLINAM meetings, always ready to talk and ready to smile. I knew about his illness, and we kept in contact via emails. Even after his surgery, Yuri continued working on manuscripts and provided suggestions to better others' publications.
The world lost a great man in him, but his work and contribution to science will live on.
Rest in peace, my friend.

My deepest condolences to Yuri's family. Yuri was a true gentleman and dedicated colleague. He will be greatly missed and thought of very fondly. May he rest in peace.

To Irina and Liza our deepest condolences on the passing of Yuri. It was a pleasure to have met him. Such a kind, caring and generous man. Our thoughts are with yous at this very sad time. May he Rest In Peace.

We are so sad to hear of Yuri's death. He was a pioneering scientist, a great mentor and a true gentleman. We were glad to have known him. Our deepest sympathies to his beloved Irina and Liza, may the cherished memories of your time together help you true your great loss.

Our deepest heartfelt condolences to Irina and Liza . Yuri took our daughter Inés under his wing as a young intern in The Trinity Translational center and inspired her to leave Madrid to follow her vocation and to study Bio Medical Sciences at Trinity. He was a man who appreciated beauty in nature and was uplifted by simple things like the blossoming of spring flowers. He is forever in our hearts. Our prayers are with you now Irina and Liza in your time of grief. We will always remember him when the spring flowers bloom. Turlough, Ana and Inés.

Deepest condolences to Yuri's family. I had the pleasure of being taught Nanomedicine by him 2018-19 at Trinity. He will always be fondly remembered by his students. RIP.

Rest in peace Dear Yuri, will miss you terribly. Thank you for all you have done as colleague, mentor & friend. Remembering also your adored son Misha. My deepest condolences to your beloved Irina, and darling Liza.

I was very sorry to hear of Yuri's death. He was a real gentleman in the Trinity research community. My deepest condolences to Yuri's family.

Yuri was so much fun to work with, and so knowledgable - some of the very first projects I worked in, both SFI and EU, were with Yuri - some memorable nights-out (with excellent food and drink of course!) followed the intensive science discussions at all our meetings. Rest in peace Yuri - you will be very sorely missed by all who knew you. My deepest sympathies to Irina and Liza - you have a very heavy burden to bear - may you find comfort in your memories of Yuri and strength in one another and your friends and family.

So sorry to hear the sad news, Yuri was always very kind and welcoming. Condolences to his family, friends and colleagues.

My sincere sympathy to Yuri's family, friends and colleagues. Yuri was not only an excellent lecturer and scientist but also a genuine gentleman. I will remember him not only for his great knowledge but for his kind words, warm spirit and entertaining stories. His loss will be felt far and wide but he has left us a legacy of discovery and friendship.

Дорогая Ирина и Лизочка, мы с вами пересеклись в русской школе, когда наши детишки ещё были совсем небольшими. Около 20-ти лет назад, моей Настеньке тогда было лет 6-7. Лизочка была совсем ещё маленькая, а Миша уже школьник.. Я помню и тебя, Ирочка и Юрочку очень хорошо. Хочу сказать, что Юра в моей памяти остался прекрасным, умным, веселым человеком. Ваша пара нас так всегда радовала и вдохновляла. Вы - такие молодцы!! Я понимаю, что сейчас не найти слов, чтоб передать горечь утраты, кажется, что всё опустело и дома и вокруг, но это не так!! Осталась память, то, что связывало вас, те прекрасные и хорошие годы... Какое это богатство!! Мне очень хочется, чтоб вы когда о них вспоминали, то благодарили Господа, что он подарил эту встречу и жизнь с этим человеком. Тогда становится легче... Это я на своем примере знаю. А если как все верующие подумать, что жизнь здесь не заканчивается, и нас всех ждёт встреча с нашими ушедшими родными и любимыми там... то появляется надежда. Мне очень хочется вас Ирочка и Лизочка обнять и как-то помочь сейчас. Наверное сейчас вам не до звонков и разговоров, но если потом будет возможность, вот мой емэйл, напиши мне, Ирочка, как ты? Если что-то нужно или просто надо поговорить. Хорошо? Annablinova10@gmail.com
Буду ждать и молиться о Юре и Мише. Помоги вам, Господи!!

So sorry to hear of Yuri's death. A lunch time companion over several years while he worked on the St. James's Campus, when he first arrived in Ireland. Yuri has made a great contribution to his discipline in this country and will be much missed by those who knew him. May he rest in peace

Yuri was a wonderful colleague, scientist and friend. He had always good advice, a kind word and a supportive and generous attitude to colleagues and students. Yuri had so many interesting stories and a great sense of humour! He had a big heart and he will be very much missed. My deepest sympathies to Irina and Liza and family

To Yuri's family - It was an honour to work with Yuri and to count him as a friend since he started in the Sir Patrick Dun Laboratory in 1995. He was a gentleman, full of integrity and a true scholar who was held in the highest of esteem by all who met him. I cannot imagine how painful his loss will be to you his dear family. But we will remember him fondly, miss him greatly and treasure the times we were privileged to work with him.

We are deeply saddened and heartbroken. Sending our deepest condolences to Irina and Liza at this difficult time. May God give you strength to bear this loss. It was my great privilege to work with Yuri. He was a great gentleman, supervisor, mentor, and scientist. May he Rests in Peace.

Very saddened to hear about Yuri. I worked with Yuri for years in the Trinity Centre in St James and he was always a pleasure to talk to.I have only fond memories of him.

All my best wishes to his friends and family.

To Yuri's family I wish to extend my most sincere condolences on such a great loss. I had the pleasure to work closely with Yuri, for a number of years while at Trinity College. He was simply a wonderful person. His passion for and dedication to his work was admirable but what I will remember foremost was his capacity for sincerity. Yuri was warm and welcoming and we had many discussions, on wide ranging topics which enriched my life. His love for his family shone bright. I will miss him but shall cherish my memories. May he rest in peace.

My deepest condolences to Yuri's family. He was a brilliant scientist and a lovely person.

So very saddened to learn of Yuri's passing. Sincere condolences to all the family. A true gentleman

I am saddened to hear about the passing of Yuri. He was a very positive, warm and fun person to be with. He was very generous in sharing his knowledge and experience, I learnt a lot from him. Sending my deepest condolences to Yuri’s family.

Dear Cousin, I am heartbroken. Wishing you peace after your valiant battle; I will greatly miss our conversations and sharing family history. Most sincere sympathies to Irina and Liza - from your family in California.

Dear Irina and Liza,
Please accept our most sincere condolences for your loss. Yuri was our great colleague and friend. He will always be in our fondest memories, mind and heart. We will terribly miss you, Yuri! RIP.

Dear Irina and Liza,
I can’t begin to imagine your pain right now, and have no words to express my sadness for your loss. Yuri was the first person that I met in the lab when I arrived to Ireland and I’ll never forget that day. He was very good to me over the years and I learned a lot from him.
May Yuri rest in peace. He will always live in our hearts and memories. My most sincere condolences to you both and your family.

I send my deepest condolences to Yuri’s family. I am so saddened to hear of his passing. I worked alongside Yuri for 11 years. He was so easy to work with and just knew how to communicate with people. He spoke with great wisdom and intelligence with the perfect calming tone. He welcomed colleagues and students whenever they needed guidance and support. He had a special knack with words and helping people. Each year on the student’s feedback reports they wrote that his lectures were very interesting, entertaining and that he gave them endless support. Before exams he would go the extra mile and book extra sessions with the students to go over everything to make sure they felt confident, strong and ready. He wasn’t just a colleague but a great role model and a great leader. I met Liza and Mikhail when they came to the office from time to time and Yuri would light up as he was so proud to have them with him and to show them what he was up to. Yuri didn’t do a huge amount of chit chat but when he did share a story or tale it was always very funny, interesting or would lead to a great discussion. When I was going through a hard time he sent me a picture of his little bull dog sitting in the sun, looking absolutely chilled and said “life will be okay” knowing it would cheer me up. The world is a much better place that you were in it. Yuri I will never forget you. Thank you for your support and guidance over the years. You will be dearly missed but never forgotten. Rest in Peace.

It was a pleasure to work with such a kind, thoughtful person over the last five years. Yuri was a brilliant role model and always so generous with his time. My sincere condolences to his family and friends. He will be greatly missed.

So sorry to hear about the passing of Yuri, such a gentleman. RIP

Our deepest sympathy to you Irina and Liza at this very sad time .Yuri was a gentleman

A wonderful scientist, very inquisitive, yet kind. My thoughts are with his family at this sad time. RIP

May Yuri rest in peace with deepest sympathy from my self and Russian colleagues Yuri Kalmykov and Sergei Titov

Prof. Volkov was a wonderful teacher. I fondly remember the energy and enthusiasm with which he taught us. His lectures never felt like work and were something to be enjoyed. I am sure that he has influenced countless students over the years positively, both known and unknown. Ex-students will always remember Prof. Volkov most fondly. He was a standout character during our time in College with an infectious curiosity. Sincere condolences to all his family, friends and colleagues. May he rest in peace. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

Yuri was an absolute gentleman, someone who will really be missed. Sincere condolences to his family, friends and colleagues

RIP Yuri.

A dreadful loss.

R.I.P and sympathies to all family members.

Deepest sympathies to Irina and family on the loss of Yuri. We will miss his incredible intellect but also his kind and gentle nature and much valued friendship.

It is so sad to hear of Yuri's passing. I met him first in Moscow in midwinter during perestroika when he met me at the airport and accompanied me into the city and entertained me with his wonderful sense of humour. It was a memorable time historically and it was extraordinary to have Yuri as my guide both at the Institute of Immunology and outside to Zagorsk, the Orthodox monastery and later in our escapades with a samovar. Later, we were privileged that he came to work in Trinity College Dublin and brought all of his scientific innovation to bear in producing answers to difficult questions and inspiring others to do the same. He was a wonderful scientist and teacher but most importantly a wonderful man and a very dear friend. We will not see his like again. Our deepest sympathy to Irina and Lisa. RIP Yuri from Dermot, Jean, Clara and Sean

My deepest sympathy to Yuri's family. I recall his introduction to me and others in Physics to the world of macrophage cells. We lit them up with the quantum dots. May God grant him rest.

I will remember Yuri as a gentleman and always a smiling person. My deepest condolences to Yuri's family

Our deepest condolences to the entire family. Our prayers and thoughts are with you all. We can't express how much Yuri meant to us over the years, he will be deeply missed.

Deepest sympathy to Irina, Liza and family on the untimely death of a humble and gentle intellectual giant who was an exemplary colleague.

I am very saddened to hear of Yuri’s passing, he was such a gentleman. My condolences to all of his family.

Yuri was a true gentleman and a great colleague. Always happy to help and give advice. My deepest condolences to Yuri's family. He will be greatly missed.

My deepest condolences to Yuri's family for your unbearable loss. It is also a great loss for us, Yuri's friends and colleagues. Rest in peace Yuri
