The Revolution of Dignity, also known as the Euromaidan, was a series of violent and peaceful protests throughout Ukraine, with the center in Kyiv, in the winter of 2013-2014. The Revolution led to the overthrow of the government, as well as Ukraine taking a definite stance on its pro-freedom, pro-European and pro-Ukrainian values.
