Anatoly, age 26, was a civilian casualty of the Russian war in Ukraine. He was a young church volunteer, aiding the evacuation of families in the town of Irpin. He had already evacuated his family to safety, but returned to help more families escape; when a mortar attack started, he ran to help a family caught in the open, and was killed alongside them.
A famous New York Times photo, showing the family laying dead on the ground, while Ukranian soldiers fought to save Anatoly's life, has immortalized the tragedy.
