"With deep regret having met the news of the death of Oleg Bazilevich, I express my deepest condolences to his family, relatives and friends".

"The heart of an outstanding person, a pioneer and a great professional, whose name is inextricably linked to the loudest successes of our football, has stopped. For Oleg Bazilevich, one of the best students, players, and then teachers of the glorious Dynamo school, sport was never a job. On the field, the coaching pew, the university department, he always remained a creator and innovator, turning the work of his whole life into the highest art ".

"The name of Bazilevich, one of the brightest representatives of the first golden generation of Ukrainian champions of the USSR, is recorded in the annals of our football. But even more significant is the personal merit of Oleg Petrovich in the approval and triumph of the scientific approach in sports activities and, as a result of this process, the creation of the unbeatable Dynamo brand ".

"It is thanks to his knowledge and efforts that the club from the capital of Ukraine still remains the most titled in the territory of the former USSR and throughout Eastern Europe! With the death of Oleg Petrovich, we all suffered an irreparable loss. The last of the Mohicans left us truly. Comrades, colleagues and students of Bazilevich will miss him very much, "said Grigory Surkis.
