“Vera was indeed the heart of the Ukrainian editorial office… Our coverage of this senseless, unjust war that claimed Vera’s life would not have been possible without her. Vera coordinated editorial tasks and business trips for our correspondents, worked amazingly with war correspondents working at the fronts was very important to our audience in Ukraine. This coverage of the war reached both Russians and other countries on a daily basis,” said Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty President Jamie Fly.

With “1 + 1” Vera Girich combines a lot. In 2006-2007 she worked as a guest editor, and from 2007 to 2016 as an information producer for TSN.
