HISTORY
A sourced chronology of the Revolution of Dignity and its consequences.
REVOLUTION OF DIGNITY • KYIV • 2013–2014
THE 107 HEROES OF MAIDAN.
THEIR NAMES.
A FREEDOM TO DEFEND.
They were students, workers, teachers, artists, entrepreneurs and parents. They faced repression from a deeply corrupt regime closely aligned with Moscow. Some fell under gunfire. Others were beaten, stabbed, abducted or murdered on their way home. Some died from baton blows, torture or gunshot wounds. Their victory begins when their names cease to be numbers.
ARCHITECTURE OF THE MEMORIAL
Seven passages.
One responsibility.
Each chapter answers the previous one. Revolution leads to faces; faces to music; music to the Bell; the Bell to Europe; Europe to the future.
01
REVOLUTION
Dignity becomes action.
02HORROR
Repression breaks bodies.
03107 HEROES
Names refuse oblivion.
04MUSIC

MEMORIAL DOSSIER
02
FACES
The 107 Heroes of Maidan, named and linked to their individual records.
03
WORKS
Music and Bell presented as memorial creations, never as archival sound.
THE FOUR PRINCIPLES
DIGNITY
Refuse humiliation, arbitrariness and fear.
RIGHTS
Defend the freedom to choose, speak and protest.
FREEDOM
Protect a people’s sovereignty and democratic future.
TRANSMISSION
Ensure that their sacrifice continues to protect those who come after us.
I — WHAT HAPPENED
94 days that changed
Ukraine’s history.
The site abandons romantic framing. It begins with a civic uprising, repression and deaths, then the political victory of dignity and the continuing struggle for freedom.
21 NOV. 2013
THE EUROPEAN CHOICE
The government suspends preparations for the Association Agreement with the European Union. Students and citizens gather on Maidan.
30 NOV. 2013
REPRESSION
Berkut violently disperses students. The brutality turns the protest into a mass mobilisation against authoritarianism, corruption and rights abuses.
JANUARY 2014
HOLD THE LINE
Repressive laws seek to restrict the right to protest. Maidan becomes a barricaded camp of civic resistance.
18–20 FEB. 2014
THE BLOODY DAYS
Violence reaches its peak. Snipers and security forces use firearms against protesters. 20 February is the deadliest day.
21–22 FEB. 2014
THE REGIME FALLS
Viktor Yanukovych leaves Kyiv and then Ukraine. Parliament records that he is no longer carrying out his duties and organises the political transition.
SPRING 2014
THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION ATTACKS UKRAINE
Russian forces — initially deployed without insignia — seize strategic sites in Crimea. Russia illegally annexes the peninsula and armed aggression then spreads to Donbas.

COUNCIL OF EUROPE
RISE
The European choice brings citizens into the streets.
RESIST
Repression turns protest into a national uprising.
HOLD
The barricades hold despite the assaults.
FALL
Dozens of protesters are killed by gunfire.
TRANSMIT
Their names become a responsibility of remembrance.
ACT I
BETRAYAL
AND HORROR
AND HORROR
On 20 February 2014, sniper teams and security forces, deployed with the consent of the authorities of the time, open live fire on protesters. Many have little more than construction helmets and improvised shields. The Council of Europe documented the use of snipers and live ammunition and noted persistent allegations of Russian personnel involvement, without treating those allegations as definitively established. That day, 48 protesters were killed or mortally wounded.

II — THE BELL
A Bell of Ukraine.
A voice for Europe.
The Tryzub is not mere decoration. It is engraved into the bronze as a mark of origin, sovereignty and continuity.
The Bell is treated as a monumental object: dark patina, layered metal, crown, massive lip, clapper, the number 107 and a stylised Tryzub. When it sounds, the entire monument enters a slow, physical vibration.
VISUAL PRESENTATION
Four images. One voice.
The four founding works of the project are presented intact, as in a digital exhibition room. No website text is placed over the artworks.
SONIC ARCHITECTURE
The Bell is no longer drawn.
The Bell is no longer drawn.
It is felt.
The visual monument is now carried by the project’s artworks. Here, the site no longer imitates bronze: it gives form only to its resonance — wave, breath, silence and memory.
“The voice of the memorial does not need decoration. It must pass through us.”
III — THE BELL OF MAIDAN
A Chime for Europe’s
Enduring Memory
Project for the creation of the “Bell of Maidan” and proposal to dedicate 20 February as a European Day of Freedom.
Europe’s history is often written in the quiet rooms of diplomacy, but in moments of great peril it is forged in the blood and courage of peoples. On 20 February 2014, on the frozen paving stones of Maidan, the Ukrainian nation paid in blood to wrest its destiny from tyranny and bind it, irrevocably, to the European family. That day, one hundred and seven destinies were cut short by a regime at bay, forming the Nebesna Sotnia — the Heavenly Hundred. So that this date is never confined to the margins of Ukrainian history, but takes its rightful place at the heart of continental consciousness, we carry today a work of remembrance and struggle: the Bell of the 107.
Memory cannot be satisfied with mute marble; it requires a voice capable of piercing time. The Bell of Maidan will not be cast from an ordinary alloy. It will be the outcome of a sacred alchemy, forged from cartridge cases, shell fragments and pieces of armour recovered from the front line that is tearing through the East and South of Ukraine. Brass and steel once manufactured by Russia to spread death and subjugation will be melted and transmuted. The instrument of our destruction will become the eternal voice of our freedom. This Bell will be a sonic scar, a living fragment of wounded Ukrainian soil, offered to Europe as a whole.
Because freedom is a permanent struggle, the Bell of the 107 will refuse immobility. It is intended to become a travelling monument, an embassy of memory. Each year, at the dawn of 20 February, it will take its place in the heart of a different European capital — Paris, Berlin, Warsaw, Brussels, Rome.
There, at the centre of public space, a ritual of absolute sobriety will take place: a majestic minute of silence, crossed by one hundred and seven strikes. One hundred and seven deep, clear and solemn blows, sounded within sixty seconds. A compression of time in which each vibration will carry the name and soul of a fallen hero. One beat for one life given, so that oblivion — the second death of those who fought — may be defeated forever.
Why should Europe stop to listen to this toll? Because, in honouring these sacrificed lives, it contemplates its own survival. What would the European continent look like today without Ukraine’s absolute resistance? Had the Ukrainian barrier collapsed, Russian armour would already be redrawing the borders of the Union. Europe would live in fear, fractured and subjected to the permanent blackmail of a predatory empire. The martyrs of 20 February were among the first to die, wooden shields in their hands, not only for the sovereignty of Kyiv but while raising the starry banner of Europe. Their sacrifice foreshadowed the great civilisational war we are fighting today.
From then on, the Bell sounds as a sentinel. Its metallic song is a warning to free nations: Russian fascism and its genocidal impulses will not stop of their own accord. To listen to the Bell is to refuse fatal naivety; it is to remember that democratic peace is a vulnerable fortress that must be defended every day, with arms if necessary.
Around this sounding monument must unfold the living substance of our history. By studying the mosaic of these one hundred and seven broken lives — teachers, students, workers, artists, fathers and sons — European citizens will no longer see a distant abstraction, but the intimate and fraternal face of a vibrant, educated and indomitable nation.
In this war, where Russia builds its hegemony on the falsification of history, imposing truth is an act of struggle and an indispensable pillar of final victory. The Bell of Maidan embodies that uncompromising truth.
For all these reasons, this manifesto carries a major political, moral and historical demand. We call on the institutions of the European Union and the heads of state of the continent to go beyond a solely Ukrainian national commemoration.
We ask that 20 February be officially proclaimed a European Day of Freedom. On that date, from one end of Europe to the other, nations should stand together, listen to the metal of the front line resonate, honour those who defended the free world, and renew together their unbreakable oath in the face of darkness.

The echo of freedom
forged in the metal of the front.
The echo of freedom forged in the metal of the front.
There are sacrifices that the motionless coldness of marble and the blindness of stone cannot decently contain.
On 20 February 2014, the heart of Europe bled on the snow of Kyiv. That day, one hundred and seven Ukrainian citizens — those whom history mourns and reveres under the name of the Heavenly Hundred — fell under gunfire on Maidan.
Their bodies were broken, but their spirit set a nation ablaze. They did not merely give their lives to wrest their homeland from the darkness of tyranny; they were killed for raising Europe’s flag of golden stars. They died for the rule of law, human dignity, and for believing, at the risk of their existence, in a real and tangible democracy.
Their blood, mixed with the ashes of the barricades, sealed our common European destiny. It was here, on this square, that the struggle for the freedom of our continent began.
To honour this immeasurable debt, we refuse the frozen silence of conventional memorials, which too often fade into everyday forgetfulness. Today we call for the creation of a living, vibrating, sounding and profoundly continental monument: the Bell of the 107.
The Bell of the 107 will not be cast from a neutral or ordinary alloy, untouched by history. It will be forged from the very substance of our tragic and present struggle: the brass and copper of artillery and ammunition casings, carefully recovered from the current front line in the plains and trenches of eastern and southern Ukraine.
From destruction to awakening: there is an almost sacred transmutation in this act. We will take the raw material of war — metals that carried noise, destruction and death — and purify them in the fire of the forge. From these instruments of harm, we will bring forth an instrument of peace, unity and awakened conscience.
A physical and indestructible bond: this metal, pulled from the mud of the trenches and saturated with the effort and sweat of our soldiers, will carry the indelible DNA of Ukrainian resistance. It will weave an unbroken bronze thread between the founding blood shed on Maidan in 2014 and the immense struggle waged today, hour after hour, to guarantee the security and freedom of Europe as a whole.
Because the martyrs of Maidan died looking toward Europe, the European continent as a whole must become the setting for their memory. Freedom knows no immovable borders; neither will the Bell of the 107. It will be a travelling memorial, an itinerant sentinel, in the image of democratic values that move, breathe and bind our nations together.
The sacred journey: every year, as 20 February approaches, the Bell will begin its pilgrimage to stand at the heart of a major historical or political place in a European capital. Let it ring before the European Parliament in Strasbourg or Brussels, stand watch beneath the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, or gather people at Place de la République in Paris.
The fraternal pact: the host city will assume, for an entire year, the honourable title of “Guardian of European Memory.” This diplomatic gesture will be more than a symbol; it will renew the solemn oath of fraternity linking the destiny of European nations with that of Ukraine.
The 107 Pulsations: the heavy bronze hammer will strike the Bell 107 times. Each deep, visceral note will cut through the winter air to remind European conscience of the unique, singular and irreplaceable soul of each hero who fell. One hundred and seven sound waves like one hundred and seven heartbeats refusing to stop.
The European Minute of Silence: after the final echo of the one hundred and seventh strike, as the vibration slowly dies in the air, the continent will be called to stillness. From Lisbon to Warsaw, from Rome to Stockholm, one minute of absolute silence will be observed. A suspended instant. A space outside time in which to hear the sound of our peace — a precious silence purchased at the price of Maidan’s fury and the daily roar of our trenches.
This project goes beyond mourning. The Bell of the 107 is not a funeral elegy; it is an act of life.
A celebration of the extraordinary, almost mythic courage of ordinary women and men who walked toward weapons of war with plywood shields and construction helmets as their only protection.
A memory forged to inscribe forever in our shared history an undeniable truth: the freedom enjoyed by the West today is not a natural possession. It is paid for, defended and won every day, in flesh and blood, on our eastern flank.
An immense gratitude. Every strike of this Bell will become Europe’s monumental, audible and enduring “thank you” to the Ukrainian people, who by the tragic force of history have become a shield of the free world.
Europe’s freedom has an incalculable price. It now possesses a voice.
Do not let this song die. Make it resonate. Support the creation of the Bell of the 107.

Proposal for a European Day of Freedom
One hundred and seven rings. Then silence. A suspended moment in which the memory of Maidan becomes a European responsibility passed to future generations.
V — THE EUROPEAN ECHO
The path continues
from Kyiv toward Europe.
Each capital becomes a possible stage in the passage of memory.
The Bell’s journey can become a living archive: ceremony, film, speeches, photography, educational resources and a symbolic passing of the witness to the next city.
Kyiv
The origin of the journey: memory, dignity and resistance.
THE WALL OF NAMES
107 names.
Not one may disappear.
A memorial is not only a form. It is the decision to speak the names again and again, until they belong to everyone’s memory.

THE 107 HEROES OF MAIDAN • TOUCH A NAME TO RETURN TO ITS FACE AND STORY
THE VISITOR’S VOW
I remember.
I transmit.
I defend.
No signature is requested. The only proposed commitment is internal: do not let the names disappear, do not accept indifference, and do not treat freedom as an eternal given.
THE 107 HEROES OF MAIDAN
TO THOSE WHO COME AFTER US
EPILOGUE — WHAT REMAINS WITH US
THEY SACRIFICED
THEIR BREATH
SO THAT YOU COULD BREATHE…
Freedom is not an abstraction. It has faces, names, dates and a price. The memory of the 107 does not ask us merely to look backward; it asks what we will do with the future.
What they defended must outlive their generation.
