Bohdan “VIVA” Kuchinsky is a fan of the football club “Dynamo” (Kyiv), representative of the team “Viva Kyiv”.

Bohdan Olegovich Kuchinsky was born on January 7, 2000 in the village. Yurivka (Zhytomyr region). He studied at the Malinovsky secondary educational complex, after which he entered the Radomyshl Lyceum, where he obtained the specialty of a welder. Having lost his father at the age of 8, despite difficult times, he remained with his mother, brother and sister, demonstrating resilience and strength of character.

As a child, he was fond of football, and in an older age - boxing, in which he achieved good results. Loved nature walks in all weathers. He loved to draw and noticed things around him that remained invisible, or not too important to others. I saw the world around me as beautiful and that's why I always smiled.

He may have first realized himself as a strong and courageous Cossack and warrior in a Cossack camp near Zhytomyr (Cossack Kish) when he was 10 years old.

Teammates recall that Bohdan joined the fan team “Viva Kyiv” in 2021 and immediately made a very positive impression. He was a mature and honest man, quickly found common ground with other guys in the firm. Many admired him for his sincerity and willingness to always come to the rescue.

- “For Bohdan, our team became a real family, in which he was sincerely respected. We remember his smile at home and away matches, as well as his first fight in the forest, where he showed himself from the best side.

A little later, after the beginning of a full-scale war, he joined the army and showed himself to be a real warrior. Even after the battles, Bohdan found time to write in the chat, was interested in everyone's affairs, asked if help was needed, and wanted to organize various activities for the younger generation.

The memory of Bohdan — of his courage, his love for the country, for his family and our team — will live forever. We will pass it on.”

After acquiring the specialty of a welder, Bogdan did not work in his specialty for a single day, but skillfully used the acquired skills in everyday life. His main hobby was psychology. Dreaming of helping people, he started working in a rehabilitation center in Zhytomyr, where he was first an assistant and later a consultant.

Relatives and colleagues at work remember Bogdan's big heart and pure soul. Striving to always help those around him, he had a rare ability to listen, analyze, and convince people, which repeatedly came in handy at work. For a long time before the full-scale war, he worked in a rehabilitation center in Kiev.

In early 2022, Bohdan met his future wife Anna, whom they married in March of the same year. The couple moved to Dnipro, where the husband worked in the security agency, and in September announced to his family that he was going to the front.

After training in the UK, he served as a machine-scout of a reconnaissance company of one of the military units. He was awarded the badge “For Impeccable Service” and other honors.

In the spring of 2025, his daughter Milania was born, for whom Dad will live in photographs and numerous stories of relatives and friends.

Bohdan Kuchinsky died on July 2, 2024 in a contact battle with the enemy DRG near the village. Kronivka (Chernihiv region). He was awarded the Order “For Courage” of the 3rd degree (posthumously).

Eternal glory to the Hero!
