And this is evidenced by his participation in charitable public actions timed to important state events, constant cooperation with such organizations as "Ukraine-svit", "Dialog", various associations of Ukrainians abroad, compatriots of Ukraine, and, first of all, the Bukovinsk compatriots in Kyiv and other societies and organizations that glorify our Nenka-Ukraine!

For many years, he considers it an honor to perform as part of the Academic Ensemblewith songs and dances of the State Border Service of Ukraine in front of border soldiers and various audiences, who are so waiting and loving this well-known creative team. In 2016, he created and started performances with the Author's family concert program "We are from Ukraine". Its uniqueness lies in the fact that only members of one family take part.
