* The Revolution of Dignity was a wave of patriotic protests in Ukraine, primarily against corruption, abuse of authority by the law enforcement and riot police, legislation, violating civil rights as well as for the European vector of Ukrainian foreign policy.
The protests began on November 21st, 2013 as a response to the decision of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine to suspend the process of signing the Ukraine-EU Association Agreement. They escalated after forceful dispersion of peaceful demonstration in Kyiv on the night of November 30th.
