You're reading: Heavenly Hundred: Kyiv to Commemorate Revolution of Dignity

While the Ukrainian military and civil society brace for a possible full invasion of Ukraine, the National Museum of the Revolution of Dignity is preparing a series of events to remember the “Heavenly Hundred” this Thursday.

Hundreds of Ukrainians laid down their lives in battles in Kyiv and beyond against the police and military forces of former Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych – who was acting at the behest of the Kremlin.

Igor Poshivailo, Director General of the National Museum of the Revolution of Dignity, announced at a press conference on Monday that a street exhibition “Euromaidan in Donetsk: the history of the struggle for dignity” was due to take place in Kyiv on February 17.

A memorial service for those killed during the Revolution of Dignity will be held on February 18 in the “Alley of Heroes” on Instututskaya street.
