Biography

Yuri Andreyevich Zhdanov was born on August 20, 1919 in Tver.[1] He graduated from Moscow State University in 1941 with a degree in organic chemistry and served with the Red Army during World War II. He received a Ph.D. in 1948.

He married Svetlana Alliluyeva in the spring of 1949 "as a matter of hard common sense but without any special love or affection". Joseph Stalin respected the Zhdanov family and had always hoped the 2 families would be linked in marriage. They soon divorced in 1952. They had a daughter Yekaterina ("Katya") in 1950.[2]

He joined Rostov University in 1953, becoming a member of the Soviet Academy of Sciences and eventually Rector of the University. He was the author of numerous papers on organic chemistry.
