The Celestial Hundred

This book is a requiem. It is a tribute to those participants in the Revolution of Dignity who gave their hearts blood so that Ukraine and all of us Ukrainians could raise from our knees. So that we could start to change our country, and our posterity could have a chance to live in a new Ukraine. The characters of this book are ordinary people from all over this country who come from all walks of life—migrant workers, scientific researchers, private entrepreneurs, school teachers... If it hadnt been for the Maidan, they wouldnt have met each other. It is the Maidan that united them and turned them into brothers-inarms and warriors of light. This book was written to ensure that the memory of the great act of self-sacrifice of the heroes of the Celestial Hundred never dies and lives forever in the hearts of Ukrainians. This book is the silent reminder to us all about the price that was paid for our freedom and for a chance for our Motherland to become a truly European country.
