Ihor "Belaz" Beloshytskii is a fan of the football club "Dynamo" (Kyiv), a representative of the "Albatross" team.
Ihor Anatoliyovych Beloshytskyi was born on September 18, 1988, in Kyiv. In his hometown, he studied at Gymnasium №32 and school №44. He entered the Ukrainian Academy of Business and Entrepreneurship, where he received a diploma in International Economics. From a young age, he was engaged in sports. He attended a boxing section, and his passion for football and love of the Kyiv "Dynamo" led the teenager to the fan sector, where he later joined the "Albatross" team.
As Ihor's mother would later tell, since childhood he had his own opinion and was ready to stand for the truth. A keen sense of justice did not allow Belaz to stay away from the revolutionary events in 2014. When the future of Ukraine was being determined on the capital's Maidan, he and his comrades fought for justice against the criminal authorities.
Later, when the struggle with the servants of the regime was replaced by the confrontation with Russian terrorists, Ihor was worried that he could not immediately go to the East together with his comrades. Soon, in September 2014, the courageous man from Kyiv joined his friends and became a fighter of the " Azov" battalion. He was immediately seconded to the combat zone.
Along with his old comrades "Belaz" served in the first squad of the first hundred of "Azov", where he proved to be a diligent and skillful warrior. Ihor Beloshytskyi died on December 12, 2014, on the outskirts of Mariupol near the village of Pavlopil. A patrol group of the "Azov" regiment and the scouts of the Armed Forces of Ukraine detected and neutralized a pair of terrorist snipers and a subversive reconnaissance group that ambushed them. On the way back, the vehicle with the servicemen hit an anti-tank mine. That explosion killed two of the five soldiers in the car.
He was buried at Lukianivske military cemetery in Kyiv. On April 9, 2015, he was awarded the Medal "For Courage", III degree (posthumously). On October 18, 2018, on the facade of the Gymnasium № 32 in Kyiv, where Ihor studied, the memorial plaque was established.
