The address was not chosen at random: it was here, in Nadiya Levchenko's flat, that like-minded people gathered and ideas were born that strengthened faith in an independent Ukraine.
This is according to a report by Bucha City Council.
Nadiya Levchenko was a teacher, a dissident, and an active member of the Ukrainian Helsinki Union and the Ukrainian Republican Party. She helped organise the legendary "Human Chain" marking Unity Day, defended Ukrainians' right to be free, and educated more than one generation of young people.
The city council stresses that unveiling the plaque is not only a tribute to a distinguished resident of Bucha, but also a reminder that Ukrainian statehood was built by people who were not afraid to tell the truth and to act against the system.
It is fitting that the event took place on the Day of Ukrainian Statehood — the day for remembering those whose actions brought an independent Ukraine closer.
The initiative was made possible by the charitable organisation "Berehyni Myru", which has joined efforts to preserve the memory of people whose names are written into the country's history.
