On November 21, marking exactly nine years apart, Ukraine witnessed the commencement of its two most significant protests in recent history: the Orange Revolution in 2004 and the Revolution of Dignity in 2013.
This date holds profound symbolic importance for all Ukrainians. Commemorating it helps preserve and pass on to both present and future generations critical information about pivotal moments in Ukraine's early 21st-century history. It underscores the affirmation of freedom and democracy ideals and pays tribute to the patriotism and bravery of citizens who, during the fall of 2004 and from November 2013 to February 2014, stood in defense of democratic values, human rights, and the national interests of Ukraine, affirming its European orientation.
