"From the first day, from the first mass event dedicated to Sasha's memory, we've only been talking about it, because, you know, it gives us some kind of purpose in life. She was lost to us, and we thought forever, but thanks to these events and thanks to your memory, we live, we live it all," said Sergey Fedorchak, the correspondent's father.

According to him, Fedorchak was formed as a personality at KFU and took his first steps into the profession here. In addition, Sergey Fedorchak expressed the hope that the memory of his son will be passed down from generation to generation.
