Ivan "Psycho" Holodryga is a fan of the "Bukovyna" football club (Chernivtsi).
Ivan Vitaliyovych Holodryga was born on January 26, 2002 in the village of Valya Kuzmina (Chernivetsk region). He studied at the local secondary school No. 1, and after finishing the 9th grade he entered the Chernivtsi Vocational Lyceum of Automobile Service. From a young age, he was fond of sports, in particular football and athletics, participated in school and district tourism competitions.
According to the memories of his relatives, since childhood he dreamed of being a paratrooper. Later he became interested in technology, could repair any car. The young man and his sister were raised by their grandparents. Acquaintances and neighbors remember Ivan as a brave and sensitive boy who, despite life's difficulties, always tried to be positive and unyielding under the pressure of life's circumstances. He treated older people with respect, he enjoyed authority among his students, and later students who were familiar with him.
After graduation, he worked in the "Tigr" rapid response security unit in Chernivtsi. I got into the fan sector at the end of 2020 through one of my work colleagues, with whom they were from the same village. He had been a fan of "Bukovyna" for a long time, and Ivan was very interested in football, so somehow he received an invitation to attend the game. Having joined the movement, he tried to participate in all activities: he helped in the preparation of the performance, went on trips.
This period can be called rather difficult in the life of almost any fan movement, in particular due to the restrictions of the epidemic and the approach of the great war. In March 2021, Ivan became a soldier of the Armed Forces under contract. Friends remember that he liked to tell stories about his time in the ATO. Since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion, he defended Ukraine as part of the 87th Separate Airmobile Battalion of the 80th Brigade of Airborne Assault Forces,
Ivan Holodryga was seriously injured as a result of enemy rocket fire near the city of Izyum (Kharkiv Region) at the end of September last year. For more than two weeks, the brave Warrior fought for his life in the Kyiv hospital, but on October 14, 2022, he left for better worlds. The soldier was buried in his native village in Bukovyna. According to Alina's sister, Ivan loved his nephews very much and dreamed of his own family.
