Our friend Ihor died. He's the owner of the already iconic Kazka bar in Kharkiv. It is difficult to describe how great a loss this is for everyone, not only his family and friends, but also for the music community as a whole. His contribution to the cultural life of Kharkiv is difficult to overestimate. Having opened a year after the start of a full-scale ruzzist invasion, the bar became a mecca for heavy music. Almost all of the hardcore, punk, and metal concerts in the city took place exactly here during this time, giving locals an opportunity to escape from the gloomy reality and opening the doors to young and old bands from all over the country and even few brave ones from abroad.
Despite the bar's financial difficulties, Ihor continued this "business", as there was no alternative to such an institution. He often said, "maybe I am a naive fool, but I believe that the city needs such a place." Even after being drafted into the army, he coordinated the work of the bar and made plans for the future to continue making Kharkiv brighter. We have lost a music enthusiast, musician, a kind and responsible person, reliable partner. The future of the bar is currently uncertain. Eternal memory, Ihor! Glory to the Hero! 💔

The news also helped traders look past another report showing decades-high inflation and shake off some of the volatility from recent sessions. The Bureau of Labor Statistics' February Consumer Price Index (CPI) this week showed another surge in prices even before Russia escalated its attacks in Ukraine. The headline CPI — soaring 7.9% over last year — underscored the sticky inflationary pressures reverberating across the U.S. economy, with everything from groceries to rents and airline fares getting more expensive for everyday consumers. Again, in contrast to Facebook, Google and Twitter, Telegram's founder Pavel Durov runs his company in relative secrecy from Dubai. Stocks closed in the red Friday as investors weighed upbeat remarks from Russian President Vladimir Putin about diplomatic discussions with Ukraine against a weaker-than-expected print on U.S. consumer sentiment. The Russian invasion of Ukraine has been a driving force in markets for the past few weeks. On Telegram’s website, it says that Pavel Durov “supports Telegram financially and ideologically while Nikolai (Duvov)’s input is technological.” Currently, the Telegram team is based in Dubai, having moved around from Berlin, London and Singapore after departing Russia. Meanwhile, the company which owns Telegram is registered in the British Virgin Islands.
