Creative meeting with soldier of the 3rd Assault Brigade, poet and bard Oleksiy Byk

On November 27, 2024, an extremely inspiring creative meeting with Oleksiy Byk, a soldier of the 3rd assault brigade, poet and bard, took place in the library of the USUCT Educational and Scientific Institute.

Olexiy Byk, the author of the legendary song “Volunteers of God’s Company”, which became a symbol of the Ukrainian volunteer movement, shared with the students life stories from the front. His stories touched not only on the themes of war, but also on the importance of fundamental values, such as discipline, knowledge and order, which, according to the guest, are key to achieving success in any area of ​​life.

The meeting was not without poetry. Oleksiy Byk presented his works, which captivated the audience with sincerity, wisdom and emotional depth. His poetic lines prompted students to reflect on their own lives and future decisions, leaving an unforgettable mark in everyone’s hearts.

“…I blew out the candle and put it in my pocket
A hundred unwritten rhymes, a hundred undone deeds,
I repeated only a short line as a refrain:
He who gets up from his knees will be saved!”
Alexey Byk

At the end of the meeting, Oleksiy Byk promised to visit the university again with a new book to continue this exciting dialogue with the youth.

We thank the trade union committee of the National Institute of Economics of the Ukrainian State Technical University for organizing this event, which inspires new achievements!
