8. Tim
Page's 10 October 2003
obituary article
in the Washington Post stated
that Istomin's parents were "of Russian-Jewish ancestry." Based
on name analysis alone, Istomin's mother (née Asya Chavin)
was
almost certainly Jewish. This, however, is less likely to
have been the case for his father, George Istomin.
