He studied at a specialized school of the I-III centuries. named after Osip Makovey with in-depth study of information technologies and technological disciplines, as well as gymnasium named after the Hnatyuk brothers. He graduated from the Military Lyceum named after Ivan Bohuna, a student of Kyiv National University named after Vadym Hetman. Engaged in contact martial arts in the Ternopil club "Kharakternyk".
Orest's parents are doctors, and his grandfather taught him to love nature from an early age. In the future, this gave its impetus to interest in paganism. The boy grew up a rebel, once he disrupted the educational process with a smoke bomb. He communicated the situation in such a way that he was thanked for organizing the evacuation training of students from the gymnasium. At the age of 15, he joined militaristic schools. While studying in Kyiv, he continued to engage in contact martial arts, won prizes at combat sambo and MMA tournaments.
Zealous and purposeful, he dreamed of joining the ranks of "Alfa" (SBU), but during Yanukovych's rule, he did not get into the special unit because of his nationalist views.
During his student years, Orest met Tatyana, who became his beloved and loyal friend. This woman is part of Orest's family and in her field of activity continues their common cause - the struggle for Ukraine.
In 2009, Orest joined the capital's right-wing movement, actively fought against illegal constructions in Kyiv. He participated in the rescue of Lake Telbin in Bereznyaki, the protection of the Bilichan forest in Sviatoshyn, advocated for the preservation of the Kyiv History Museum and the Gostiny dvor. At the same time, he became the leader of the combat wing "C14" - "Medobory", which consisted of Kyiv nationalists and hooligans "Dynamo" and CSKA. In 2011, he made a strong appearance at the Idu Na Vi martial arts tournament, the participants of which were representatives of various fan movements.
A characteristic feature of Orestes was the following: he was a magnet for idealistic people. He never focused on the colors of the club, but on the contrary united people based on ideological beliefs. He was good friends with the leader of "Obolon Crew", "promoted" on the street together with "Terror Family", fought in the forest for "Young Hope", lived in the apartment of a representative of CSKA, skated left-handed for "Niva" Ternopil and sheltered with the Lviv team " Pride". The common denominator of all these contacts was direct action.
During the Revolution of Dignity, he was at the hottest points of protests. When the street fights started, he and his brothers immediately joined the fight. There he received his first concussion and luckily avoided a bullet that actually flew over his ear. During the battle on Instytutskaya, he took command of the group. "I ran as a candidate for the Heavenly Hundred, but they didn't elect me," he joked later.
With the beginning of the annexation of Crimea, Orest, together with other volunteers, began to prepare for participation in hostilities. In June, he joined the ranks of the "Aidar" battalion, where he was almost the youngest in the unit of experienced fighters. In one of the first successfully completed tasks, his group captured 18 people from the enemy group "Zarya". During another night sortie, it was possible to neutralize an enemy tank.
Orest Kvach died on July 27, 2014 in the battles for the city of Lutugyne (Luhansk region). Buried in his native Zalishchyki. Awarded the Order "For Courage" III degree (posthumously). In 2015, a commemorative plaque was unveiled on the building of the gymnasium where the fallen Warrior studied. In the same year, a street named after him appeared in Konotop. Dynamo hooligans held a big martial arts tournament in honor of Orest. To this day, numerous graffiti in memory of Kvacha adorn the streets of the capital.
Back in 2009, he reasoned: "Will or death" - to follow these words, you need to sacrifice a lot, and not stop, not give up. There are moments of weakness, you have to fight with it. Many people in difficult situations stray from the main goal... And at the expense of victims, I just don't sacrifice like that."
