Around 500 people gathered at Mykhailivsky monastery in Kyiv on Feb. 18, 2020 to commemorate the Heavenly Hundred, the term for protestors killed by government riot officers during the EuroMaidan Revolution in winter 2013-2014. Between Feb. 18 and Feb. 20 six years ago, violence dramatically escalated after police violently suppressed protestors who marched to the Verkhovna Rada.
After the commemoration at Mykhailivsky monastery, the crowd marched to a memorial near Maidan Nezhalezhnosti, the symbolic center of the revolution’s successful campaign to remove Ukrainain president Viktor Yanukovych from office.
