Four years ago, on the last day of summer, the life of the first head of the DPR, Alexander Vladimirovich Zakharchenko, tragically ended. In that attack, his bodyguard was also killed, 12 people were injured.
He ran the Republic in the most difficult wartime, was a patriot of his Motherland, for that he won sincere respect and popular love.
Zakharchenko deservedly made the history not only of Donbass, but also of Russia. “It’s the reason, that streets and squares are named after him in different parts of the Russian Federation,” said head of the DPR Denis Pushilin.
Vitaly Khotsenko, Chairman of the DPR Government, emphasized that there are legends about the boundless nobility, humanity and justice of the first Head of the Republic.
«I am convinced that the memory of Alexander Vladimirovich Zakharchenko will live forever in the hearts of the inhabitants of the Donetsk People’s Republic. Young people are equal to his feat!«, he said.
Zakharchenko’s dream of the liberation of Donbass will definitely come true, Head of Crimea Sergey Aksyonov said. He called the first Head of the DPR a real hero, patriot and leader.
“And those who laughed at his words that the time would come and the militias would take Kiev are not laughing today,” Aksyonov wrote in his Telegram channel.
