The exhibition "Square of Hope", which is dedicated to the 3rd anniversary of the Revolution of Dignity (November 2013 - February 2014)

November 21, 2016 in Kirovograd Regional Art Museum there was the exhibition "Square of Hope", which is dedicated to the 3rd anniversary of the Revolution of dignity.

As Yuriy Syrotyuk said, revolution is a Revolution of Dignity. What is the dignity in our understanding?  The Academic Ukrainian Dictionary explains that this dignity ? a public awareness of human weight of public debt, a set of features that characterize the positive moral qualities. That’s it.

 At Maidan only those people fought, who thought that they deserve a better standard of living and attitude. We remember those who laid their lives for our well-being and peace. Events on Maidan shook the world, radically changing the outlook of Ukrainian history and millions of Ukrainians. We survived the terrible winter of 2013-2014 years with many deaths and maimed lives. But unfortunately, now the situation in Ukraine is not completely comforting - the war in the east, the annexation of the Crimea and countless victims, and now are citizens of Ukraine in favor of the aggressor look different hooks to counter revolutionary changes in society and the state, with mad fury rushing attempts to change, while others try to ignore the problem, or slow down their decision, but without a result. Large Maidan gave Ukraine an impulse, hope and a guide for the construction of that free Ukrainian state, dreamed about dozens of generations of patriots.

Following these events, we have a lot of questions ... why it happened. Throughout the period of independence we have witnessed how our country is becoming a minor country in the world, a satellite of the Russian Federation, instead of reforms and changes in the country remained a routine system that we inherited from the Soviet Union.

Maidan won its desperate confrontation with evil, not because it assembled a team of "tough guys", but because it was on the side of good, that rose in defense of values of the trampled cynical mode. We should have a patience and wisdom and walk step by step to our goal of building a free, democratic, economically strong, spiritually recovered from a public body, its content Ukrainian state.

In the exhibition "Square of Hope" the visitors of the regional art museum can see paintings of A. M. Nadezhdin (1963) "Singer of the steppe Greece" (Portrait of Evgen Malaniuk) (2001-2006), who almost 100 years ago struggled with the hope of a great future Ukrainian state. V. A. Kanaschuk (1992) "Maidan" (2014), A. D. Kimnatnyi (1980) "The Awakening" (2008), Kovalenko "A copy of the picture of S. V. Vasylkovskyi "Morning Cossacks" (1946).
