"Zhenya Tabakov, a 7-year-old boy, who died while protecting his 12-year-old sister from a rapist."
Having done research I found that ZT stabbed the robber in the back once, probably not expecting the criminal to get back at him the same way eight times in a row. From what I can tell there's no indication that ZT was intentionally getting himself in a situation he knew would 100% no doubt kill him - he probably thought the robber would have died or at least been knocked out with one stab.
This might would be an example if ZT realised he was going to be stabbed back and accepted it knowing his sister would be okay.
