A memorial plaque to the deceased correspondent of Izvestia Fedorchak was unveiled in Crimea.

On June 19, a memorial plaque was unveiled in the village of Nizhnegorsky in Crimea to Izvestia correspondent Alexander Fedorchak, who died in the special military operation zone.

The event was held on the basis of the Nizhnegorsk Lyceum school No. 1, an educational institution where the journalist studied.

"Such events are very difficult mentally for the parents of a young boy who left so early. <...> We get involved in these events, we prepare them ourselves, we want them to be held as often as possible, as many people as possible participated in it. Sasha will live in our memory and in our hearts," said Fedorchak's father Sergey.

Natalia Voronina, the correspondent's homeroom teacher, said that Fedorchak had dreamed of working as a journalist since childhood. The future correspondent always delighted others in the morning with his news about football matches or watched shows, she shared.
