The Ukrainian Heavenly Hundred refers to the group of protesters and activists who were killed during the 2014 Ukrainian Revolution. These individuals were involved in peaceful protests against the government's decision to back out of an association agreement with the European Union and form closer ties with Russia.
The protests began in November 2013 and continued for several months, with protesters occupying the Maidan Nezalezhnosti or Independence Square in Kiev. The situation escalated in February 2014 when government forces opened fire on protesters, resulting in the deaths of over 100 individuals.
The Ukrainian Heavenly Hundred came to be seen as martyrs for the cause of democracy and freedom in Ukraine. Their deaths galvanized the protest movement and contributed to the eventual toppling of the pro-Russian government of President Viktor Yanukovych.
Since their deaths, the Ukrainian government has honored the Heavenly Hundred by creating a memorial in their honor and by naming streets and squares after them. The Ukrainian people continue to remember and honor their sacrifice as a symbol of their commitment to democracy and justice.
