Oleksandr is an activist USF, born and raised in a village in the Cherkasy region, Zolotonosha district, the name of which no one can remember at first try. In 2019, he enters Cherkasy State Technological University to study specialty 033 “Philosophy”, educational program “Political Philosophy”. The choice of specialty was motivated more by the word “philosophy”, with “political” being an additional option, but something rare happened – the specialty truly resonated with him. So in 2023, he receives a bachelor’s degree with honors and enrolls in the same university for a master’s degree. In the same year 2023, he meets the community of Ukrainian Students for Freedom and in 2024 joins it.

Freedom is a force field of community, born at the point of highest tension between oppression and rebellion. This is not an abstraction, but a living nerve of a collective organism, where each participant is a conductor of shared resistance energy.
Community forms a space of freedom through mutual support, solidarity, and collective responsibility. Here, individual resistance multiplies with collective might, transforming into a powerful wave of change.
Freedom is not a goal, but a continuous process of unity and interaction, where every voice is important, every contribution significant. Freedom is USF.
