Rest in peace
Hello. Ihor's son here. Thank you for this announcement. Also, many thanks for the collection of his speeches. May I offer to correct his year of birth? It's 1971. He would have been 50 this October.
Also, I found these pieces as well: https://inp.nsk.su/~baldin/interview/sK1/LXF100.iview_sK1.pdf http://ospublish.constantvzw.org/blog/conversation/how-to-catch-ukrainian-tv-in-moscow
@albertbronsky, щирі співчуття вашій родині.

I just corrected it, thanks for clarification.
Rest in peace
Wow. Sad. Life is precious.
As expressed on Twitter, the @LibreOffice project and its design team offer its most heartfelt condolences.
All my condolences to the family of this great contributor to open source. I'm deeply sorry since this was a project and program that I followed and used a lot.
I suggest, @Symbian9, to name the next release of the project or the project itself as Ihor itself.

@lobaluna, I guess we would release sK1 2.0 "Ihor" this October.
Great news! Thanks, @Symbian9 !!!
Just wanted to leave my respect to Ihor
Last year of his life he became my teammate here in Ukraine. He was very open and bright person and had enormous amount of experience and shared it with everyone he could. I can't even describe how bad that news were for me, because it seemed like we would spend much more time working together. He wasn't just a good programmer, but good father and teacher. You have inspired many people to do things, including me.
Rest in peace, friend. I won't forget you Покойся с миром, друг. Я тебя не забуду
So sad :( Corona took so many precious lives... Thank you for everything.
Rest in peace. May I ask - if he has got a vaccine or not?

No, the vaccines had not yet been available to general public back in February 2021 when he was admitted to hospital.

Absolutely agreed, in that time noone was vaccinated at all, and it wasn't even question about money or power - Ukraine just didn't have vaccines.

Yes, the mass vaccination only started in June 2021.
