In the 19th building of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, a memorial plaque was unveiled to the hero-polytechnician Danylo Bobrykov (02.12.2001–23.12.2024) — a 3rd year student of the Department of Machines and Apparatuses for Chemical and Oil Refining Industries of our faculty.
Danylo tried to get into the army from the first days of the full-scale invasion, but was refused. In 2023, he took an academic leave and applied to Azov. After completing the young fighter course, he became a gunner.
His fiancée suggested that Danylo adopt the call sign “Harvey”: “You, like a tropical cyclone, will sweep away everything in your path to reach your goal.” Later, the motivated and ambitious guy was transferred to the reconnaissance group of the 12th Special Forces Brigade “Azov.” His comrades remember him as a courageous warrior and a reliable friend.
On December 23, 2024, Danylo Bobrykov died near Toretsk while performing a combat mission.
Eternal honor and bright memory to the hero!
