Lviv region bid farewell to the prominent poet, writer, and dissident Ihor Kalynets.
Hundreds of people gathered for a memorial service at the St. George’s Archcathedral. Following this, a city-wide farewell ceremony took place at Rynok Square. The funeral procession proceeded to the Lychakiv Cemetery, where Ihor Myronovych was buried at the Field of Honorary Burials No. 67.
“He is an example that words and language matter. Today, in the time of full-scale war, we realize even more deeply the importance of his voice. He became a beacon for millions who fought and continue to fight for an independent Ukraine. Sincere condolences to his family, loved ones, and all who loved, valued, and respected him. Eternal memory, Ihor Myronovych”, said Maksym Kozytskyi, the head of the Lviv OVA.
