Our friend Ihor died.
He's the owner of the already iconic Kazka bar in Kharkiv.
It is difficult to describe how great a loss this is for everyone, not only his family and friends, but also for the music community as a whole.
His contribution to the cultural life of Kharkiv is difficult to overestimate.
Having opened a year after the start of a full-scale ruzzist invasion, the bar became a mecca for heavy music. Almost all of the hardcore, punk, and metal concerts in the city took place exactly here during this time, giving locals an opportunity to escape from the gloomy reality and opening the doors to young and old bands from all over the country and even few brave ones from abroad.

Despite the bar's financial difficulties, Ihor continued this "business", as there was no alternative to such an institution.
He often said, "maybe I am a naive fool, but I believe that the city needs such a place."
Even after being drafted into the army, he coordinated the work of the bar and
made plans for the future to continue making Kharkiv brighter.
We have lost a music enthusiast, musician, a kind and responsible person, reliable partner.
The future of the bar is currently uncertain.
Eternal memory, Ihor!
Glory to the Hero! 💔
