Yuri

Yuri is a wide-spread Slavic name commonly used throughout Russia and its former territories, namely the Ukraine and Belorus. The name derives from a Russian equivalent of George -- Georgiy (ghe-or-ghiy), and is a Russified, colloqual form. The Orthodox church does not accept this form and babies and grown-ups baptized are given the name of Georgiy (George).

Who is this start-up founder? His name is Yuri Baranov, and he launched a few successful companies.
