Roman was born in a small town in Cherkasy oblast but had spent almost all of his life in Kyiv. Since 2021 he is studying Public Administration at Kyiv-Mohyla Academy. Since middle school, he was interested in public activism, was a member of the Darnytsia district children’s parliament, and was a school council member. Roman found libertarianism almost accidentally as he was bored, thus scrolling through Wikipedia. However, he instantly became interested in it. In 2020, he discovered USF but became a member only in 2021 after Leadership Program.

«‎I have always wondered why people have to fight for their rights, for their freedom. I was surprised by the fact that censorship is still a thing; people are being persecuted for their views, which do not coincide with the views of the authorities. When I learned about USF, I realized that freedom is the primary value for me. Freedom is the ideal we must strive for together.»
