Oleksiy Shalaysky, co-founder and editor-in-chief of the Nashi Groshi project, said goodbye in Kyiv. The editorial staff of Intent also came to say goodbye to their colleague.

This was reported by Intent correspondent Natalia Dovbysh.

The last tribute to the famous journalist was paid in Kyiv on Wednesday, October 8, at St. Michael's Golden-Domed Monastery from 12:00 to 13:00. The burial is planned in the village of Morozivka, Kyiv region, about 65 km from Kyiv.

Oleksiy Shalaysky was one of Ukraine's leading investigative journalists who uncovered a large number of corruption schemes. The journalist was born in Lviv, where he lived for about three decades before moving to Kyiv. He started working at the turn of the 1980s and 1990s for a student newspaper. He began his journalistic career in the 1990s at the Lviv-based publications Ratusha, Postup, and the Mist TV company.

In Kyiv, he headed the ForUm and ProUA websites and worked as an editor at Dzerkalo Tyzhnia. Since 2011, Shalaysky has been the editor-in-chief of the online publication Nashi Groshi, which he founded with Yuriy Nikolov.

Among Shalaysky's most famous investigations is the story about Boyko's oil and gas drilling platforms in the Black Sea, the purchase of which was linked to a multimillion-dollar embezzlement of public funds.

In August, film producer Dmytro Grokhovsky, who had been fighting for the preservation of the Odesa Film Studio for almost two decades, died in Odesa. Over the past 18 years, he had organized like-minded people and lawyers, spent his own money and studied in depth the legislation on corporatization of the enterprise. Thanks to his persistence, two criminal cases were opened against attempts to illegally privatize the studio.
