«The USF has become a source of strength and inspiration for me to not give up, to believe, and to act. These are incredible people, who support, respect, help, and are open, and understanding. Interesting discussions, new views, fresh ideas, important topics. For me, Freedom is the ability to choose every day and the willingness to take responsibility for this choice every time. «Long live Ukraine! Long live Ukrainian nationalism in the sense in which I understand it: we cannot allow the time to come when there will be no Ukrainian word, no Ukrainian song, no Ukrainian sun, and no Ukrainian sunflower!» — Sergei Parajanov».
