Gordin Itsik (Itzik) Yasepovich (born 29 October 1936, Rezekne) — electrical engineer specialising in railway signalling.

Itsik Gordin completed his schooling at Karsava Secondary School and served in the Soviet Army from 1955 to 1958. Upon demobilisation, he joined Riga’s diesel-engine works as an apprentice grinder (1958–59). From 1959 to 1960, he worked as an assembler at the VEF plant in Riga, thereafter becoming a fitter responsible for repairing telephony equipment (1960–62). While employed, he completed part-time studies at the Leningrad Institute of Railway Engineers (1960–70). Between 1962 and 1963, he served as a regulator at the “Kommutator” facility. From 1963 to 1978, he held positions at VEF ranging from fitter-assembler through design engineer and electrical engineer to senior process and senior electronics engineer. In 1978, he was expelled from the Communist Party in connection with his application to emigrate to Israel. In 1974, he travelled as a tourist to East Germany and Czechoslovakia.

In 1968 Gordin married Polina Davidovna Gordin. Their children are Lev Itsikovich Gordin (b. 17 January 1969, Riga) and Joseph Itsikovich Gordin (b. 6 June 1977, Riga).

His parents are Josef Yasepovich Gordin (1903, Karsava – 1973, Riga) and Khava Kapilovna Gordin (née Schwab) (b. 1911, Varakljani).
