Yurij Kozitsky was born on April 21, 1949 in the city of Kremenchukh, Poltava Region of Ukraine. He finished a secondary school and in 1967 entered the Physics Faculty of the Ivan Franko Lviv State University. Being fascinated by two sciences, physics and mathematics, he chose his specialization in the field of solid state theory. The supervisor of his diploma work was Prof. I.V. Stasyuk, a well-known expert in the theory of magnetic, segnetoelectric, and optical phenomena in solids. The objective of the master's thesis by Yu. Kozitsky (1972) was to develop new theoretical approaches in studying the dynamics of segnetoactive crystals with hydrogen bonds. Later, the results of these investigations, augmented and generalized, were published as scientific papers (co-authored with I.V. Stasyuk and R.R. Levitskii).
