| Border Policeman St.-Sgt. Vladimir Trostinsky, 22, of Rehovot.
Vladimir Trostinsky immigrated to Israel in 1997 with his mother Yevgenia and younger brother. His father remained in Russia. He joined the armed forces in 2001, and served in the Border Police. After undergoing surgery, he was transferred to a desk job, but, according to his commander, ''he constantly nagged us to get back into his company.'' In October 2003, his request was finally granted, and he was stationed at the Erez crossing. ''Everybody liked him,'' said the commander. ''He always volunteered for missions.'' Because of the family's economic situation, Vladimir was allowed to work during his furloughs from the army, and found employment as a security guard. After completing his service in five months, he planned to work to help his mother pay the rent.
He is survived by his parents, his younger brother Constantin, 18, and his grandparents, Moshe and Ida.
