And my next post in support of Ukraine. (This is copied from my Twitter account, which is why I refer to the thread.)
Tonight's post will be a little different. We're revisiting the very first site that started this thread on Ukraine. Maidan Nezalezhnosti (Independence Square). But we're actually visiting a time instead of a site. Today is the 9th anniversary of the beginning of the Revolution of Dignity, which took place February 18-23, 2014, the epicenter of which took place on Maidan Nezalezhnosti. This event was what led to muscovy later illegally annexing Crimea and ultimately to the full-on invasion of February 2022. As I've stated in all my cultural heritage threads, I'm not an expert on any of the sites/countries we visit in them. So, I'm just going to attach an article by the Maidan Museum about the Revolution of Dignity. (We will also have to visit the museum later in the thread, as we haven't yet.) Another great source on the Revolution of Dignity is the documentary Winter On Fire, which I highly recommend. It's not just a film. It is the filmed footage of the actual events. And they talk to people who were participants, some of who have since died in the current full-on invasion. I know of at least one man who has since died in the current fighting who was at Maidan, and I'm sure there are more. #StandWithUkraine
