Vadym Kudiyarov was born on 10 October 1988 in Vinnytsia. He graduated in 2015 from the Vinnytsia Trade and Economics Institute of the Kyiv National University of Trade and Economics with a degree in economics and entrepreneurship.[1]
In 2018 he became one of the founders and the head of the Vinnytsia branch of the public organization "All-Ukrainian Patriotic Movement 'Dignity of the Nation'" (Ukrainian: Всеукраїнський патріотичний рух «Гідність нації»).[2] In July 2021 he was unanimously elected national chairman of the movement at a general meeting, succeeding Volodymyr Teslia.[3][4] Under his leadership the organization focused on patriotic and sports education of youth, assistance to veterans, and — in the pre-invasion period — the formation of a volunteer partisan/resistance network.[5]
