Denis is an activist of USF. He was born in Sevastopol but spent most of his life in Mykolaiv, where he completed his schooling. His interest in history and politics grew significantly from the 9th grade, shaping his future path. Cenis is studying International Relations at Petro Mohyla Black Sea National University. At the onset of the full-scale invasion, Denis became a volunteer and joined efforts in assisting the wounded in the hospital the next day. He and his team also established a municipal guard that defended the city at night against looters, vandals, and adversaries. Following their municipal guard duties, Denis and his friend helped establish the SpivDiya humanitarian center in Mykolaiv. This center provided significant aid to the citizens of Mykolaiv with food and supplies, operating for several months before being closed down. In February 2023, they were already involved in a new project, setting up the Goncharenko Center, where they offered free educational services. Today, Denis is an active member of USF, assisting with fundraising in the volunteer organization «Second Front».
