Those present also had the opportunity to listen to an audio recording of one of Vyacheslav Chornovol’s speeches about the future of Ukraine.
“Ukraine should be a country of full democracy. That democracy, which is the heritage of civilization today. This should be an open society, we will not be closed off from anyone, we will be masters of our land, we will decide our own politics, economy, etc. It should be a society of peace – both social peace and national peace,” Chornovil noted in one of the interviews in the 1990s.
We will remind that Vyacheslav Chornovil died in a car accident in March 1999. Buried at Baikovo Cemetery in Kyiv.
