January 22, 2014 was a tragic day for Ukraine. Serhiy Nigoyan, Mykhailo Zhyznevsky, Yuriy Verbytsky, Roman Senyk, Oleksandr Badera and Bohdan Kalyniak were fatally wounded. The first victims of the Maidan symbolized the beginning of the struggle for freedom and dignity, which forever changed the course of the country's history.
The procession was initiated by the Third Hundred of the Maidan Self-Defense, to which Serhiy Nigoyan belonged. It was at the Lyadsky Gate, where the 3rd barricade checkpoint was located, that he was on guard.
This is an annual event, and its purpose is to preserve the memory of the heroes' feat and remind us of the price of freedom.
