Ivan “Zyrochka” Bohan is a fan of the football club “Dynamo” (Kyiv), a representative of the movement “White Boys Club”.

Ivan Anatolyevich Bohan was born in the city. Kyiv on June 16, 1985. He studied at the Kyiv Lyceum of International Relations No. 51. Ivan's parents are architects, so he chose this specialty, graduating in 2008 from Kyiv National University of Construction and Architecture.

Ivan was a talented and multifaceted student and student. He easily mastered both the exact and the humanities. He was very fond of music and art in general in all its forms. Classmates and classmates have always said that Ivan belongs to the category of people who never calm down at what they have achieved, are looking for their way, their higher destiny.

Ivan's father since childhood is an ardent football fan of Simferopol “Tavria” and Kyiv “Dynamo”. So it is not surprising that Ivan as a child more than once attended matches with his father both Dynamo and the national team. In the second half of the 2000s, Ivan joined the fan movement, was proud to belong to the ultras “Dynamo”.

Teammates recall that with the appearance of Ivan in the sector, we can say about the beginning of the emergence of a separate circle of people who did not look like a generalized portrait of a football fan. Education and upbringing have shown that fans are different. Ivan was a creative and fun person, so the outings in his company were interesting and filled with conversations on a variety of topics. He also never stood aside during “controversial” issues with opponents from other clubs.

After graduating from the university, Ivan worked fruitfully and inspiringly as an architect and designer in the famous architectural bureaus of Kyiv and Odessa, namely Beletage Design Group, REVASTUDIO, LLC Dreamdesign (one of the last objects of the Odessa period, on which he worked as part of the author's team, was the PortCity shopping center in the city. Mariupol).

Along with professional experience, civic consciousness grew stronger, especially after the events of the Revolution of Dignity.

In Odessa in 2012, from his first marriage, his charming daughter Polina was born.

A full-scale invasion stranded Ivan in the village. Motovilovka (Kiev region), where he lived two years before. Immediately joining the local TRo, he was at the same time a very active member of the local volunteer movement “The Unbreakable”.

After the de-occupation of Kyiv region in April 2022, as part of a volunteer team, he repeatedly traveled to the city. Borodyanka, taking part in dismantling the rubble of destroyed buildings, the installation of temporary housing for the affected residents.

Among the volunteers, Ivan met his love, Galina, who in March 2024 became his wife.

What he saw in Borodyanka - the terrible consequences of the Russian occupation - greatly influenced Ivan. In June 2022, he was mobilized to the ranks of the National Guard of Ukraine, where he gained experience in training at training grounds and while performing the tasks of his commanders, he studied at the courses of UAV and sapper operators.

In January 2023, he joined the brigade of operational assignment of NGU “Burevy”, where he took the call sign “Zirochka”. He defended the country in the hottest areas of the front — Bilogorovka, Serebryansk forestry — performing the most difficult tasks.

Ivan Bohan took his last fight a week after his birthday, on the morning of June 23, 2024, during a combat mission at the position of the JV “Chicago” near N.P. Dibrova (Lugansk region). He was buried in the Berkovetsky cemetery in his native Kiev. He was awarded the Order “For Courage” of the 3rd degree (posthumously). In February 2025, in honor of Ivan Bohan, the street was renamed in the village. Motovilovka (Fastivsky district, Kiev region).

Eternal glory to the Hero!
