This site quotes his brother, Boris:

...His brother Boris recalled:
“As children we loved playing football. According to tradition, we 
played one street against another. We often went to the river to catch 
lobsters. Later on Yuri got carried away by plane modeling and joined a 
section in the city’s young pioneer club. He read more and more books 
about pilots. And he was fascinated by Jules Verne’s novels”...
