Day of Dignity and Freedom is a significant holiday celebrated in Ukraine on November 21, serving as a reminder of the strength, courage, and unity of the Ukrainian people. This day commemorates the beginning of two pivotal events in the nation's history—the Orange Revolution of 2004 and the Revolution of Dignity in 2013. During these moments, Ukrainians stood up for their rights to freedom, democracy, and independence.
The history of this holiday dates back to 2005 when President Viktor Yushchenko established "Freedom Day," designating November 22 for its observance. In 2011, Viktor Yanukovych annulled the decree of the previous president and introduced a new holiday: "Day of Unity and Freedom." However, in 2014, President Petro Poroshenko repealed Yanukovych's decree, restoring "Day of Ukraine's Unity" and instituting the "Day of Dignity and Freedom," moving the celebration to November 21.
Although this holiday is relatively young, it has already become a symbol of spirit and patriotism for Ukrainians.
