Anastasia is an USF activist. She was born and raised in Kyiv. Since 2021, she is studying at DNU in the educational program “Historical Ukrainian Studies and Applied History”. The choice of a university so far from the native city was due to the absence of Ukrainian studies in other universities. In autumn of 2021, she took part in the organization and holding of discussion clubs on the Day of Dignity and Freedom in the territory of Dnipropetrovsk region. She joined USF in the summer of 2022.

‘For me, USF is an inspiration. Seeing all these people burning with their work and ideas, you feel a fire start burning inside you. There is an overwhelming desire to join, to burn together. And I could not resist this fire.’
