It is 125 years since the birth of the Kherson Hero of Socialist Labor Dmitry Soroka. This was recalled by Governor Vladimir Saldo.
Dmitry Ignatievich was born in 1901 in the village of Golaja Pristan. He graduated from the Kherson Marine Technical School, having gone from a simple sailor to a captain of a long voyage.
Dmitry Soroka participated in the Great Patriotic War. In 1960, for outstanding services in the development of sea transport, Dmitry Soroka was awarded the title of Hero of Socialist Labor.
In the Naked Wharf, a memorial plaque was installed in his honor on the building of the former seafaring school.
