Maria is an activist of the USF. She was born in Kryvyi Rih, but later moved to Kharkiv with her family. She has been actively involved in public life since her school days. She is a student of Kharkiv State Academy of Design and Arts, specialty 021 “Audiovisual Art and Production”, where she participates in student parliament. She considers freedom the highest value, so she became an adherent (and soon an activist) of USF after the debates in Kharkiv (February of 2022). She dreams of creating a competitive Ukrainian film market and independent film production.

‘USF is a community that unites people for whom Liberty is a factor of the successful future of Ukraine. I believe in the supremacy of individual Freedom over anything and the inalienability of the Human Rights to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness (Rights that have been repeatedly taken away from our people).’
