From the very morning, about 400 staunch revolutionaries, for whom the orange events remained in their hearts, gathered at the place where people stood up for freedom and democracy. Some of them still proudly show off a passport with Viktor Yushchenko's signature. They are preparing gifts for the politicians who will come to the Maidan today, setting up tents and waiting for more people to gather on the square by evening. For freedom from the very morning. The most devoted revolutionaries are celebrating the second anniversary. Near the symbolic public cabinet of ministers and parliament, they discuss the political situation in the country, wait for the leaders and tell journalists about gifts for the politicians. The camps of "Our Ukraine" and the BYuT on the Maidan are next to each other. Their supporters do not hide it: there are differences in views regarding the future of Ukraine, however, unlike the politicians, they resolve misunderstandings peacefully. These people are united by revolutionary memories.
Mykola, an Odesa resident: "We talk in friendly conversations. They prove their side, we prove ours, we have no quarrels, we live in harmony."
Dmytro, a Kyiv resident: "We tried to change life for the better and it is not our fault that the leaders of the orange movement quarreled."
Our Ukraine supporter Dmytro wears near his heart a passport where Viktor Yushchenko put his signature during the revolutionary events. And he promises to keep the flag he stood with on the Maidan until the end of his life.
New symbols are not to be found on the Maidan nowadays. Souvenir sellers say that the symbols of the revolution have long stopped selling. That is why even on the anniversary they came to work with the same goods as yesterday. Only the songs that were sung on the revolutionary Maidan never go out of fashion.
