This Hungarian professor from Transcarpathia gives online classes from the front!

A Transcarpathian-Hungarian professor at the Uzhhorod National University joined the Ukrainian Territorial Defence Unit after the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war. Since then, he has been giving online lessons from the trenches to his students.

Classes from the trenches

In the conflict-affected region of eastern Ukraine, Sándor Fegyir, a professor of Fundamentals of Tourism at the National University of Uzhhorod, gives lectures in the trenches between two garrisons to his students. The video was shared by Viktor Shchadei on his social media page.

“Just as in peacetime, Sándor is doing his job with unstinting energy. He keeps in touch with Transcarpathian volunteers who help the army, or, as he is doing now, he gives lectures to students,”

wrote Shchadei, who has run to be mayor of Uzhhorod several times in recent years and is currently serving with the tourism specialist professor on the frontline in eastern Ukraine, as Kárpátaljai Igaz Szó reported.
