Dmytro was born and raised in Bohorodchany, Ivano-Frankivsk oblast’. Since the ninth grade he has taken part in various non-formal educational and cultural initiatives all over Ukraine in order to escape the “comfort zone” of a little town. He committed to volunteering 30 hours on a Ukrainian online-platform for English learners by the name “ENGin” during 2020-2021. Firstly identifying as a left-liberal, Dmytro has changed his political views after making right-liberal friends during the Verkhovna Rada Model and “ENGin” service. He has been pursuing Bachelor’s degree in Economics at Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute since 2020. Dmytro discovered libertarianism with the help of activist friends and the series of lectures by USS in the fall of the same year. He got selected and became a member of the organization at the Leadership Program in 2021.

«USF is unique not only because there is nothing like it in Ukraine. The true magic is hidden in the people – in those, who make you feel safe, in those, who can debate with you on any topic, in those, who inspire you to make changes here and now. And in all of us, who, despite the harsh times for liberalism, put the highest value on the pedestal – Freedom.
