ReplyDeletePer a handout today at the Ukrainian Museum: ,"On January 21, 1990, Ukrainians yearning for greater autonomy from the Soviet Union formed a historic human chain, known as the Chain of Unity or the Ukrainian Wave. Spanning 600 kilometers, the chain linked major cities like Kyiv, Lviv, and Donetsk. ... While official figures estimated 450,000 participants, unofficial estimates suggest millions of Ukrainians (between 1 and 5 million). This event, the largest demonstration in late Soviet Ukraine, occurred amidst a period of political change and suppression of Ukrainian identity." I will continue to send financial donations to Razom for Ukraine. The strong spirit of the Ukrainian people against Putin's power grabs deserves our admiration and continued support.
