Secretary of the NSDC of Ukraine Oleksandr Turchynov expressed his condolences to Boris Oliynyk’s relatives due to his death

It's terrible to face death.

Terrible - let's not be cunning,

Either in glory or not -

It's terrible to face death.

It's scary to helplessly listen

yourself before death.

But worse is to die for nothing.

These lines were written by Boris Ilyich Oliynyk, who passed away today. A great Human went away. A poet, a citizen...

I knew him very well. He never betrayed himself and his principles and always went straight not turning to devious paths.

It is a huge loss for the whole Ukraine. I express my sincere condolences to Boris Ilyich's relatives. May the memory of the Poet... the Man live forever...
