Roman was born and raised in Kryvyi Rih. In 2020 he went to Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, majoring in software engineering. In 2021 he moved to Khmelnytsky and went to Khmelnytsky National University in the same major. In 2016, he became interested in economics and politics, as well as programming. In the same year, he became acquainted with the ideas of libertarianism through the book “Capitalism and Freedom” by Milton Friedman and became the editor of several libertarian communities. He has been involved in activism since 2019. In 2021 he heard about USF, passed the selection, and became a member of the USF Leadership Program.

USF for me is a circle of like-minded people who share the most important idea – the idea of freedom. I am very glad to be among young and ambitious people with a fire of freedom in their hearts, who are doing very cool projects and building a libertarian Ukrainian society.
