Orest A. Kvach

Orest was born on July 23, 1991, in the city of Zalishchyky, Ternopil region, where he also studied at the Hnatuyk Brothers Gymnasium. He was a graduate of the Kyiv Military Lyceum named after Ivan Bohun, a student at the Kyiv National Economic University named after Vadym Hetman, a fighter of the sports club "Kharakternyk" (in Ternopil), a public activist, and a spiritual leader. Orest knew and loved history, spoke English fluently, and read a lot. His life motto was: "Ukraine or death!", and he knew that slaves would not understand this. His favorite poem by William Henley was "Invictus," here are the last two lines from it: "I am the master of my fate. I am the captain of my soul." He wanted a dignified life in Ukraine, for which he perished! Heroes do not die, enemies die! Rest in peace, brother! Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the heroes!
