Victor Pânzaru, a notable Moldovan poet and translator, passed away, leaving a significant impact on the cultural landscape. Born on February 4, 1953, he began publishing poetry in 1969 and gained recognition from Grigore Vieru. His works, characterized by sensitivity to childhood and nature, include children's literature and translations of Latvian literature. In 2009, he embraced monastic life as Irineu, dedicating his later years to spiritual service. The Union of Writers expressed condolences, and his funeral will take place on November 5 at Țigănești Monastery.
