Iryna PANICHEVA

Iryna was born in Kostiantynivka and graduated from the Bakhmut College of Transport Infrastructure. She dedicated nearly 16 years to Ukrzaliznytsia, working as a 4th-grade centralization post operator at the Kostiantynivka station.

Colleagues remember Iryna as a responsible, caring, and kind person who was always ready to help. Her husband, Vyacheslav, shared that Iryna was always smiling and cheerful, passionate about handicrafts (embroidery and creating various items) and flowers, bringing beauty to those around her.

The life of 44-year-old Iryna Panicheva was tragically cut short by enemy shelling on September 6, 2023, at the market in her hometown of Kostiantynivka in the Donetsk region. That day, as a result of the terrorist act, at least 16 civilians lost their lives.

Iryna is survived by her husband Vyacheslav and their daughter.

The team at the Kostiantynivka station of the Donetsk Railway is deeply saddened and outraged by the tragic death of Iryna Panicheva. Her bright soul and the memory of her unwavering passion for beauty will forever remain with us. Eternal memory to the innocent victim!
