Today, Ukraine marks the 11th anniversary of the Revolution of Dignity, a decisive moment in the country's modern history. At the end of 2013, Ukrainians took to the streets in Kyiv and other cities to demand democracy, justice and closer ties with Europe.
What began as a peaceful protest on Maidan Square in the capital became a nationwide movement that eventually toppled a corrupt, pro-Russian government. But the cost was high — the lives of over 100 heroes who are remembered as the 'Heavenly Hundred'.
