In an interview he gave to "Вголос" radio, Svyatoslav explained that, at first, he couldn't believe the news... it was a bitter reality to him.
Svyatoslav met Kuzma for the first time in the middle of the 90's because they had the same producer. But they only had frequent contacts in 2003-2004: They celebrated the New Year together... Over time, and even if they had very different personnalities, they became close friends. The two artists shared common values...
To honor the memory of his friend, Svyatoslav sang a cover of "Мовчати - Movchaty" / "To keep silent"... This song is, according to Vakarchuk, one of the most beautiful Ukrainian songs.
If Kuzma will forever remain silent, his music will eternally live in the Ukrainians' hearts!
