Chapter 71 is one of 128 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 Wednesday,
September 17, 2014 coverage of his exploration of
Kiev’s
Saint Sophia Cathedral and Kiev’s
Golden Gates. Saint Sophia Cathedral is one of Kiev’s major attractions and is recognized in the
World Heritage List. The
Golden Gates of Kiev is the historic gateway to the ancient city fortress and is a popular tourist attraction.
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.
