Ms. Iryna Farion was awarded numerous prizes. Last year, for her educational activities, she became a laureate of the All-Ukrainian Borys Hrinchenko Prize.
Farion authored over 200 scientific articles and four monographs.
She openly opposed the use of Russian in public places, educational institutions, and official events, which often led to numerous scandals.
Opinions on Iryna Farion vary.
Sometimes she indeed went too far, but she fought for what was ours and wanted to see Ukraine within Ukraine.
Condolences to her family.
