Review of Maidan (2014) by Michael O — 30 Oct 2015
Just finished watching the documentary Maidan on Netflix...What can I say...I was born on the Sverdlov street, which is a 10 minute walk from the Maidan...I grew up this city, playing near the fountains of the Maidan as a child, with my school friends... I trained as a weight lifter at the Dinamo stadium..I traded my best stamp collections in the underpass underneath it...my mum bought the ????????? cake in the best cake shop in the city there.....I walked those streets as a child until I was 15.
What I never realised was how lucky I am to have been born and raised among people so noble, so brave, so determined that they would go and fight empty handed against a murderous wolf-pack of cowards (Berkut) to protect their future and the future of their children.
I bow to the dead and the living...I bow to those who stood, no matter what, in the face of fear, the elements and death, holding hands and each other...wishing only to help everyone around them to be free...
Today, like never before, with tears in my eyes I say: long live free, beautiful, and proud Ukraine, the only country where people will die before submitting to tyranny.
I have never been prouder to have been born in Kiev...Ukraine...!
Thank you.
