The Evolution of Maidan Square
Four years after the revolution, crowds of Maidan square are gone though signs of previous political struggle are still evident. On the side of a building, a banner reads “Freedom Is Our Religion.”
Meanwhile, flags representing right wing military battalions flutter up above Maidan square. For more on the Azov Battalion, click here.

In 2018, however, the war seemed less palpable and the big banner about “Freedom Being Our Religion,” was gone. More and more, Maidan has turned into a museum with open-air exhibits continuing to honor the memory of martyrs who died in the struggle against Viktor Yanukovych.
Meanwhile, to get a sense of what it was like to participate in the Maidan revolution, head on over to the Ukrainian History Museum where you can literally enter a tent and feel like you are right there in the heart of the action.
