«USF become a place of strength and inspiration for me. Here that I met people who truly believe in freedom: freedom of speech, freedom of thoughts, freedom of self-expression, freedom of actions. People gathered here know that freedom is not a blue dream, but a completely achievable goal. And they are ready not only to talk about the importance of freedom, but also to build it here and now. And USF is not just about ideals. It’s about like-minded people, emotions, heated discussions, motivation, friendship, support.»
