For our community, Radeiko\u2019s name has special significance: for 19 years now, we have begun Ukraine\u2019s Independence Day at his grave in Oslo \u2013 we lay flowers, remember, and give thanks. Many of those present heard the profound story of his life, struggle, and dreams for the first time.<\/p>\n
