"Perapisvalisya kagadze, 17-ga lipenya. Edward was out of breath, and he was wondering about me. I tried to see if I could work on the book or if it was already in the publishing plan (not). I hoped that our "stone Edward" would again fall back into the old box and finish the general business more quickly..." - wrote his acquaintance Marina Sidarovich.
"We were discovering the Belarusian component of the Belarusian cantonment, discovering Zoska Veras, searching for native meats of Lastoŭsk, wandering through the Martsinkevich region... He was an archaeologist who could look at the corners of the earth, reading out the prodcaų passages in it: The whole network of the Dziavoch Mountains was a major theme for archaeology and archaic semantics of the Soviet Union, and the narrowing of the name with the Indo-European Koran 'god' is not uncommon. Edward wrote the book, but never got around to publishing it..." - noted Vintsuk Viachorka.
Zaikovsky's Facebook page says that the farewell will be held on July 23 from 13.00 to 14.00 in the funeral hall at 10 Olshevsky Street, Minsk.
