"SOLOAROUNDWORLD" CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/user/generationspolicy Chapter 66 is one of 130 Chapters of Paul Hodge's incredible "ground breaking" November, 2014 High Definition (HD) Video Book, "2014 SOLO AROUND WORLD IN 25 DAYS, SEPT 5 - SEPT 30, 2014”. Paul’s HD video chronicles his Tuesday, September 16, 2014 coverage of The Great Patriotic War (World War II) Memorial Complex and the Motherland Monument. The Great Patriotic War Memorial Complex was dedicated in 1981 by Leonid Brezhnev who was born in the Ukraine and was General Secretary of the Soviet Union’s Central Committee of the Communist Party. The complex includes a museum , an eternal flame (lit only during holidays) and displays of military soviet equipment/arms from different wars. The centerpiece of the complex is the gigantic 200+ feet high Motherland Monument honoring those who fought against the Germans in World War II. Paul’s risky adventure to Kiev, Ukraine was primarily to cover the September 16, 2014 Ukraine Parliament ratification of the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement and to assess the aftermath ramifications of the Ukraine’s historic February 18-22, 2014 Ukraine “Euromaidan” Revolution. The “Euromaidan” movement ’s creation was originally motivated by the pro-Russian government’s 2013 termination of the proposed Association Agreement between the European Union and the Ukraine. Since then, the movement has morphed into a movement to terminate the pro-Russian government, end the dysfunctional historical relationship with Russia, end public corruption and reform Ukrainian society by guaranteeing its citizens basic human/civil rights. After protests/unrest began in November, 2013, Kiev’s Independence Square became the main site where the final violent confrontations of the February 18-22, 2014 Ukraine “Euromaidan” Revolution took place. The revolution resulted in the Ukraine’s pro-Russian government being overthrown and the establishment of a more democratic, transparent pro-European Ukrainian government. During the violent clashes between Euromaidan supporters and the police, a 100+ people were killed and 1,000+ were injured by police gun fire/brutality in Independence Square where there are now shrines/monuments to the brave Ukrainians who gave their lives. Paul’s HD Video Book "2014 SOLO AROUND WORLD IN 25 DAYS, SEPT 5 - SEPT 30, 2014” is a “first” on YouTube because: 1) Paul utilizes a highbred documentary filmmaking Cinéma Vérité style to document the extreme physical and logistical challenges in exploring solo around the world, 2) Paul’s HD video series is the “first ever” published on YouTube to include 130 detailed HD video chapters and 12+ hours of edited, original HD film taken by Paul Hodge from all over the world and 3) Paul's HD video book is Paul's fifth video book published on YouTube.
