Biography

Lev Zbarsky was the first son of the second marriage of Boris Ilyich Zbarsky with Evgenia Perelman. Lev was born in Moscow in November 1931. The father decided to call his son the name of the man he most respected. Since there were two men he respected most, Lev Karpov and Felix Dzerzhinsky, the son was given a double name Felix-Lev.[3]

In 1972, Lev Zbarsky emigrated to Israel, and from there he moved to the United States. He died in New York from lung cancer in 2016.[5]
