Zhitomirskiy was a co-founder and developer of the Diaspora social network and the Diaspora free software that powers it. BiographyEarly lifeZhitomirskiy was born on 12 October 1989, in Moscow, Soviet Union, to Alexei Medovikov and Inna Zhitomirskaya. Both his father and maternal grandfather are mathematicians. In 2000, his family emigrated to the United States, eventually settling outside Philadelphia, where he graduated from Lower Merion High School in 2007. Zhitomirskiy first attended Acton-Boxborough Regional High School in Acton, Massachusetts. He then studied mathematics, economics and computer science at Tulane University, University of Maryland, and New York University. In his free time, Zhitomirskiy unicycled and was a competitive ballroom dancer.[1] DiasporaAt NYU, he studied computer science at The Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, where he met the three friends with whom he founded DIASPORA*, a social networking service,[2] in 2010.[3][4] The project was conceived after the founders had attended a lecture by Columbia Law School professor and free software activist Eben Moglen in February 2010 about the threat to privacy posed by commercial Internet services. According to Moglen, Zhitomirskiy was "immensely talented" and "the most idealistic of the group... He had a choice between graduate school and this project, and he chose to do the project because he wanted to do something with his time that would make freedom".[1] DeathOn the evening of 12 November 2011, Zhitomirskiy was found dead in his San Francisco home by police responding to calls about a suspected suicide.[5][6] An autopsy report from the Medical Examiner's office formally ruled the death as a suicide in April 2012. He died from an intentional inert gas asphyxiation using helium. While press reports questioned whether the pressure of working on Diaspora had led to his suicide, Diaspora co-founder Maxwell Salzberg disagreed. Salzberg stated, "Yes, I agree that being a startup founder is stressful. But it wasn’t the stress of work that killed Ilya. He had his own issues. He was sick." Zhitomirskiy’s mother, Inna Zhitomirskiy, did not comment on reports of his history of mental illness, but she did say on his participation in Diaspora, "I strongly believe that if Ilya did not start this project and stayed in school, he would be well and alive today."[7][8] The Village Voice said that Zhitomirskiy was "often described as the most idealistic and privacy-conscious member of the group" and declared his death "a devastating setback" for Diaspora.[9]References1. ^1 2 {{cite news |title=Ilya Zhitomirskiy Dies at 22; Co-Founded Social Network |first=Paul |last=Vitello |date=15 November 2011 |accessdate=16 November 2011 |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/16/technology/ilya-zhitomirskiy-co-founder-of-social-network-dies-at-22.html |newspaper=New York Times}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://gawker.com/ilya-zhitomirskiy/ |title=Why Did This 22-Year-Old Entrepreneur Commit Suicide? |website=Gawker |first=Adrian |last=Chen |date=14 November 2011 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20111216130952/http://gawker.com/ilya-zhitomirskiy |archivedate=16 December 2011 |df= }} 3. ^{{cite news |url=http://www.smh.com.au/technology/technology-news/cofounder-of-facebook-alternative-diaspora-dead-at-22-20111115-1ng3i.html |title=Co-founder of Facebook alternative Diaspora dead at 22 |newspaper=Sydney Morning Herald |date=15 November 2011}} 4. ^{{cite news |url=http://nymag.com/news/features/establishments/68512/ |title=Defacebook — Four young friends who are out to create a very different sort of social network |first=Emily |last=Nussbaum |newspaper=New York Magazine |date=26 September 2010}} 5. ^{{Cite news |url=http://money.cnn.com/2011/11/14/technology/diaspora_cofounder_died/ |title=Co-founder of social network Diaspora dies at 22 |accessdate=14 December 2011 |last=Pepitone |first=Julianne |date=14 November 2011 |work=CNN}} 6. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.webpronews.com/ilya-zhitomirskiy-update-reports-show-diaspora-co-founder-committed-suicide-2011-11 |title=Ilya Zhitomirskiy Update: Reports Show Diaspora Co-Founder Committed Suicide |website=WebProNews |first=Jeremy |last=Muncy |date=15 November 2011}} 7. ^{{cite news |url=http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2012-05-10/on-diasporas-social-network-you-own-your-data |title=On Diaspora's Social Network, You Own Your Data | accessdate=14 May 2012 | last=Weise |first=Karen |date=15 May 2012 | work=Bloomberg Businessweek}} 8. ^{{cite journal |url=http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2013/03/26/ilya/ |title=Life, death, and free culture in the Mission |journal=Fortune Magazine |first=Shaer |last=Matthew |date=26 March 2013 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130331055234/http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2013/03/26/ilya/ |archivedate=31 March 2013 |df= }} 9. ^{{cite news |url=http://www.villagevoice.com/2012-02-15/news/the-facebook-killers/3/ |title=Rise of the Facebook-Killers |page=3 |accessdate=20 February 2012 |last=Pinto |first=Nick |date=15 February 2012 |newspaper=The Village Voice}} External links{{Wikiquote}}
