He was a person who was a role model for many generations of patriots. For me, at some point, when I became a parliamentarian, and then became the first deputy, it is that unique case when, being an active defender of his ideas and a conductor of Ukrainian nationalism, he simultaneously understood the importance of institutions, not just a common specific action, but some things that build for years
