A book about the deceased correspondent of Izvestia Fedorchak was presented in Crimea.

The presentation of the book "Alexander Fedorchak: son, friend, military commander" about the deceased Izvestia correspondent took place in Simferopol on July 29.

The book was published on Fedorchak's birthday — he was supposed to be 29 years old. According to Victoria Kondratskaya, one of the authors of the book, associate professor of Journalism at the Vernadsky Crimean Federal University, the work contains memoirs of Alexander's relatives, teachers, as well as poems by people with whom the journalist communicated during his work.

The teacher clarified that she plans to use the book to teach students.

"These are stories from the life of a reporter, they are the ones that are closer to students than abstruse theories. <...> Therefore, of course, it (the book — Ed.) is like a textbook. A guide on how to live in such a way as to preserve the memory and love of oneself," said Kondratskaya.

Sergey Fedorchak, the journalist's father, noted that the book consists of letters from ordinary people who expressed all their feelings in them. He added that the authors of the book cried when they read these materials.

"Day and night, I received materials and letters in the mail. Even with grammatical errors, but people wrote from the heart. And you can all see this. <...> I think the book will live on," shared Sergey Fedorchak.
