About me
I am Andrii Solokha — student of business administration and computer science at the University of Potsdam, and the founder of the DZF movement. I started DZF for one simple reason: I would rather build the future than wait for someone to administer it.
Politics as construction, not administration
Most politics manages what already exists. I am interested in the opposite: first say what should be built — then keep it democratically accountable, so that freedom becomes something people can actually feel. That sentence is not a slogan for me. It is how I work every single day.
I don't only write a program and hand it to others. I build the things the program describes — software platforms, autonomous systems, research and tools — and then I put them up for democratic scrutiny. A movement that can point to something built is more honest than one that can only point to promises.
Proof that one person plus AI can build like a team
I run a one-person company and use modern AI as a force multiplier. With it, a single motivated person can ship at the scale that used to require a whole organization: full software platforms, mobile apps, autonomous agents, and original research — built, tested and run on my own infrastructure.
I believe this is the most important political fact of our time. The same technology that could concentrate power in a few hands can also give ordinary people the leverage of a corporation — if we keep it open, public and democratically governed. I am living proof of the upside. DZF exists to make sure everyone gets it.
Builder, not spectator
I ship working systems, not decks. The program is backed by things that actually run.
Open by conviction
Open source and shared standards over private monopolies — in technology and in politics.
Cooperation over rent
Value created by fair models and shared ownership, not by gatekeeping and rent-seeking.
Where I want to take this
My personal mission and the DZF program are the same vision in two bodies: digital sovereignty and real freedom for Europe. If you want to know the concrete goals I am working towards, read on — or join the movement.
