Oleksandr PANIN

Oleksandr Oleksandrovych Panin began his career at the Southern Railway in July 2000. He worked as a trackman of the 4th category at the Kupiansk track distance. Colleagues remember him as an enthusiastic, hardworking, disciplined, and responsible employee, as well as a good teacher for the younger generation of workers. "Olexandr managed to complete his tasks and, when needed, come to the aid of his colleagues," says his mentor Andriy Nuzhny. "He quickly earned respect not only among his peers but also from older, more experienced workers."

As of November 12, 2023, Oleksandr was released from work to serve in the military during mobilization for a special period.

The life of the soldier tragically ended on April 3, 2024, near the settlement of Kamyshivka in the Donetsk region due to multiple blind penetrating shrapnel wounds to the head, torso, and limbs from an explosive injury.

Oleksandr is survived by his wife Yuliya and a son from his first marriage, Mykhailo.

The team at the Kupiansk track distance mourns alongside the family. The bright memory of our colleague will forever remain in our hearts.
