War takes the best people away...

Today we found out about the death of Oleksandr Chaban, a graduate of the School of Sociology, Master of Political Science, the head of the Student Scientific Society of the university in 2009-2013 and the leader of the student self-government of the Karazin University.

He was an officer who defended Kharkiv on the front during those terrible months of the war. A veteran of the ATO, a volunteer, he has been defending Ukraine since 2014. And when the Russian invasion began, he again joined the ranks of the Armed Forces.

Died in battle on July 20. He was the commander of a group that knocked out several enemy tanks. Together with his comrades, they came under fire, and when they were leaving, Oleksandr covered his comrades with his body.

He would have turned 35 on August 17. However, fate was different.

Daughter Sofia was left without a father.

The Karazin community expresses its deepest condolences to the family, relatives and friends of the deceased.

But heroes do not die! They become angels and our heavenly protectors and intercessors!

And Ukraine will win! And the memory of our heroes will last forever!

Together we can help and support Oleksandr's mother:
