Madrit Igor Nikolayevich (10.02.1947, Riga) — manual worker.

Igor Madrit was born into a family of clerical employees: his father was Nikolay Kuzmich Madrit (1918, Pskov Region – 1977, Riga) and his mother Elena Borisovna Madrit (née Danovskaya) (1917, Kars, Turkey). He completed eight classes at Riga Evening School for Working Youth No. 25 in 1970. At the same time he worked as a turner at the VEF factory (1963), at the Gidrometpribor factory (1963–1965), as a transport worker at the Kaija factory (1965–1966), as a stage-set assembler at the Young People’s Theatre (1966), and as a shop assistant at Grocery Store No. 69 of the Moskovsky District Food Trade Organisation (1966).

He served in the Soviet Army from 1966 to 1969 (Vinnytsia Region, Ukraine; Madona District, Latvia; Brest Region, Belarus). After demobilisation he worked in Riga as an electrician: at the glass and mirror factory (1969–1970), at the VEF factory (1970–1974), at a specialised flat-repair unit (1974–1976), and again at the VEF factory (1976–1977).

In marriage to Ada Vulfovna Madrit (née Berner) (1948, Riga), two sons were born: Vyacheslav Igorevich Madrit (1971, Riga) and Alexander Igorevich Madrit (1975, Riga).

In 1977 Igor Madrit received permission to emigrate to Israel, where his wife’s cousin (the son of her mother’s brother), Iosif Aronovich Rozin (1949, USA), was living.
