Anna Platonova (Markova)
February 4, 1931 — February 9, 2015
Anna Alekseevna passed away at her home Sunday, February 9, 2015. She was born February 4, 1931 to Aleksey Georgievich Markov and Uniana Fominichna Lochmatikova in Moscow, Russia. She married Evgeniy Vladimirovich Platonov—a captain of the Red Army—who preceded her in death.
Anna Alekseevna was a paragon of her time. Having lived through WWII—collecting artillery shells with her then wounded father outside their Moscow bunker—she matriculated to Moscow State University—Russia’s most prestigious academic institution—and did her graduate work on the Black Sea in physical oceanography. She went on to be a professor at the Moscow Institute of Engineering and Communication where she taught physics for thirty years. She was a beloved teacher, colleague, and somehow still managed to be the center of activity for her family—whether in the city or the summer home it was above all she who brought everyone together with her wit and love. Although she immigrated to Salt Lake City in the 1996 to help her daughter raise three children, Moscow was her true home, which for her was a city of theatres, museums, and universities. She loved literature and above all poetry, and would often recite lines from Pushkin, Lermontov, or Chekhov as words of wisdom and at times admonition.
She leaves behind her two children Alexander Evgenievich Platonov and Tatyana Evgenievna Platonova (Golub); six grandchildren Vladimir Alexandrovich Platonov, Elizaveta Alexandrovna Platonova, Anastasia Alexandrovna Platonova, Peter Dmitrievich Golub, Andrew Dmitrievich Golub, and Maria Dmitrievna Golub (sister Markella); and three great-grandchildren Timothy Vladimirovich Platonov, Oleg Vladimirovich Platonov, Olga Vladimirovna Platonova. She was the beloved of all her knew her and she will be truly missed by all of us in Moscow and Salt Lake City.
There will be a church service and viewing Saturday 9:30¬-11:30, February 14, 2015 at St. George Russian Orthodox Church (6790 S 1300 W, West Jordan, UT). Interment will be at Mountain View Cemetery 3115 East 7800 South, Salt Lake City, UT.
