Description I was never easily impressed. Even this week, when I was watching photos and videos of people shot in the heads and necks, I did not turn away and I did not cry. Maybe I’m too cold-hearted. On Tuesday and Friday I was watching Hromadske.TV , seen people getting killed on live video streams. Then I was looking at the photos of the dead, horrified at the thought of seeing familiar faces – most of my friends spend their days on Maidan.

Today on Maidan there was a Funeral service for the victims. The coffins are carried through the crowd, and I look at the dates of birth: 1994, 1996, 1989, 1988, 1983, 1982, 1987, 1977... These people should have been alive, keep building our country for many years to come, but alas... And the song which was played to say goodbye to these people did what the photos of the live and the dead could not. A lump formed in my throat; no, I did not cry, but emotions overwhelmed me, and I did what I did. Usually it takes me a long time to draw something: sketch, lining, coloring, and so on. This time was different. Only emotions without thinking through. As I felt it.

Pikkardiyska Tertsia (“Піккардійська терція” in Ukrainian)

Bloody Thusday in Maidan.. about the darkest day in Modern Ukrainian History here
Very touching video about Funeral on Maidan

Почтимо ж пам'ять тих що загинули заради правильного майбутнього
Я радий що ми не підвели тих кого вже немає з нами...

нам треба ще багато чого зробити. щонайменше стіну пам"яті. я тільки но повернулася з Майдану, квіткові клумби, дерева, стовби, колони біля Жовтневого обстріляні. наче по мішенях стріляли у тирі. це жах. на сходах біля Жовтневому кров...просто жахливо собі уявити, що було там

Thank you,

I was looking for this homage, for this song, after viewing it live on tv today. This homage to those who died.

Thank you for sharing it. I will share it now so more people can see and salute the courage of the Ukrainian people.

Robert, Montreal
