On February 20, St. Volodymyr Institute honours the Heroes of the Heavenly Hundred (Небесна Сотня), remembering those who gave their lives for Ukraine’s freedom during the Revolution of Dignity.

A decade ago, Ukrainians stood united on the Maidan (Independence Square) in Kyiv, defending their rights and rejecting authoritarian rule. The response was brutal: over 100 individuals were killed between February 18-20, 2014. Today, they are remembered as the Heavenly Hundred – Небесна Сотня – whose sacrifice remains a powerful reminder of the courage required to protect liberty. Вічная Пам’ять.

As we approach February 24, marking three years since Russia’s full-scale invasion, St. Volodymyr Institute invites our community to reflect on these sacrifices and come together in solidarity with Ukraine. Let us honour their memory.

Слава Україні! Героям Слава!
