As Shneiderov admitted, Zelensky’s death was a tragedy for himself, as well as for students who loved and respected their mentor.
“There are things that fall like a bolt from the blue, which are impossible to accept. You can’t believe it. He was amazing. He always did everything honestly. Students loved him very much and received happiness and joy in the classroom with him. He always did everything 100%, never did anything, “Shneiderov told Zvezda TV on Wednesday, January 12.
