She was born in the charming city of Rivne. Viktoriia is a creative person, so she has tried her hand at many things, from drawing and design to judo and computer science. She has always loved history and studied history at school. At the time of her enrolment, in 2022, her vision of life and her future speciality changed, so she entered the National University of Ostroh Academy to study English philology. From the beginning of her studies to the present day, she has been active in student life, participating in charity events, organising them, volunteering, so you will rarely see her in the dormitory. She also worked hard for a year in the student government of her institute, where she headed the media department. She first learned about the USF in the summer of 2023 when she attended the Ukrainian Renaissance conference. Since then, the USF has sparked a fire in her that has not faded away. She became an activist in the summer of 2024.

“Freedom is, first and foremost, a right – the right to hold your own thoughts, follow your interests, and fulfill your desires. It is the right to be who you truly are. Our life, our destiny, is the result of our actions, we shape ourselves. And that is what freedom provides.”

She was born in a small town in the Lviv region. Since early childhood, she has been fond of travelling and meeting new people. After graduating from high school, she got into Ostroh Academy to study Romance and Germanic languages. She was actively involved in student life: she was a member of the student council and participated in various university events. In 2023, she met Ukrainian Students for Freedom at the Ukrainian Renaissance event. The following year, she joined the Leadership Programme and became a co-founder of the Ostroh branch.

Freedom is the ability to create your own path, even when it is not yet on the map. And USF members are the people who will help you to go through it
