“We have lost a ‘scientific grandfather’,” Oleg Grigoriev told Microwave News. “Yuri supported scientists and pushed them to do research. He was greatly respected by all his colleagues, myself included.” Yuri was one of Oleg’s mentors —they are not related— encouraging him to finish his doctoral dissertation. Oleg later served as the director of the Centre for Electromagnetic Safety in Moscow for 20 years, until 2015.
Yuri was a man with a “big soul and warm heart,” Oleg Grigoriev wrote on Twitter.
