BPP: What is
your true dream, the one that keeps you up at night and if one day it were to

BPP: How is life currently for the people in your
country and what would you wish for them and for the planet at large?
Denis Belenko: In Ukraine nowadays is a rather tumultuous time and there is actually a great oppression in the heart of many Ukrainians. My heart is restless for my children, my friends and relatives...
Our country is broken off by political contradictions
and an economic crisis, so we can't feel free to concetrate to our work or to the future of
our children...
I would like to wish peace to each person of the planet in a global sense of this word!

BPP: If you had a chance to be a child again would you
choose the same life?
Denis Belenko: If I could choose - I certainly would choose the best
way, but I am sure that the best way for us - is on what we did already, with all its
difficulties and pleasures.
I am happy with my life, I am glad I can plan for the future and for everything is already done in the past.

BPP: What was the exact moment that you realized
what you wanted to do with your life?
How did you feel at this very moment?
Denis Belenko: When I first entered the university I was rather confused, so I walk into the door of the reception committee. When I came into the hall, I saw many interesting pictures
on walls that they immediately attract my interest. So I was late for some time and while I studied those pictures, suddenly I thought that nothing casual occurs in our life. And I started studying as the architect... And here began the most
interesting era of my life... ! I felt that I will be able to create a lot of things, and this feeling doesn't leave me since than !

BPP: Would you
like to tell us something we didn’t ask until now?
Denis Belenko: Our doubts are our traitors. They force us to lose
something that we could win probably if weren't afraid to try. If you try to create something important in your life, the universe will definitely support you. Good
luck!
