A 30 THOUSAND PATRIOTIC 'MARCH OF THE HEROES GLORY' WAS HELD IN KYIV

On October 14, in parallel with Christian Pokrova feast, the Ukrainian nationalists are traditionally honoring the memory of Ukraine's freedom fighters - Cossacks and the UPA warriors - with a patriotic march. This year's Pokrova, in addition, was signified with the 75th anniversary since the UPA fundariuon.

The march, arranged by the united nationalist front (the Pravij Sector, Natsionalny Corpus and Svoboda organisations) gathered more than 30 thousand Ukrainian patriots.

The scale of this year's march is impressive: - for the first time, the column extended from Bessarabska to the Europeiska squares, completely occupying the Khreshchatyk and Independence Square. In the head of the column, the march participants were holding standards with the symbols of the defenders of Ukraine of different eras, as well as the flags of the volunteer units that are now defending the borders in the East. The solemn march participants passed the central streets of Kyiv and completed the celebration on the Kontraktova Square with a concert in honor of the 75th anniversary of the UPA foundation.

The Pokrova's March of the Heroes Glory has proven once again it is truly a national tradition. Despite all our enemies' efforts to tear Ukrainians from their historical and cultural roots, we remember those who died for the freedom of our God given land, we remember the glorious names and their deeds. The flame of glory still burns!
