Vadim Tupchiy’s home, where he had lived for 26 years, was completely destroyed during the nighttime shelling. In that very apartment, the renowned master had set up his creative workshop. After the explosion, the son of the deceased was unable to contact his father and later identified him among the victims of the tragedy.
“I recognized him by his underwear, by parts of his face,” said Anton Tupchiy.
