“НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, СІЧЕНЬ 2017 WWW.UNWLA.ORG 11 Watch for this screening ad in local media or online. Eventually the move- ment is joined by celebrities, doctors, nurses, city mayors, priests, and even Miss Ukraine 2013. Elders and children sleep in shifts, some joining the masses daily after school or work. “Our children think for themselves,” a woman tells a reporter. “They don’t just sit in front of computers; they are warriors.” Meanwhile, Yanu- kovych broadcasts via national media that women belong in kitchens. That statement alone reinforces the protest, bring- ing even more women to the streets. “Yanukovych, fly away to Moscow!” the women sing. By January 2014 five protestors have been killed; many including journalists have been kid- napped and tortured. New laws against free speech are passed as tear gas and explosives chal- lenge the movement for change. The protesters gather stones, burn tires, and wear gas masks. Some 10,000 troops appear with weapons to con- front the growing resistance. In lethal attacks the makeshift hospital is set afire and snipers shoot at health providers. Bodies lie in the streets. Over one hundred peo- ple, including two women, have been killed and many are miss- ing. The chant is now, “Death to the criminal Yanukovych.” As coffins pass by, the protest- ers cry, “Heroes don’t die.” By February 2014, Yanukovych flees to Russia. The battle of Maidan expelled one corrupt govern- ment at great cost, but new bat- tles erupted in Crimea and elsewhere in the country. The new resistance aimed directly at Putin. “Do what is right, not what is easy,” the determined Ukrainian movement women tell the world as they point out how Maidan broke prior gender issues in the country they love. As the film shows, women held the Maidan movement together. Men stayed to fight because the women stayed. The overarching message is that women united can attain much. Don’t miss seeing this film when it comes to your area or appears on any number of media outlets. Women of Maidan will lift your spirits and charge your battery for battles ahead. __________________________________________________________ Згадай про солдата... Коли вночі у дім квартиру, хату Прийде різдво, ялинка і вогні – Згадай хоч на хвилину про солдата, Який в окопі мерзне на війні. Який своє різдво зустріне в полі Під кулі свист і вітру коляду... Хай спогад твій йому тамує болі, Хай щира згадка піднімає дух. Бо в цьогорічнім році щастя й туга Змішались в датах, цифрах, іменах... Яке ж різдво без батька, сина, друга... Які ж свята, коли іде війна?! І в час, коли годинник цокне в тиші – По вінця буде келих. Щастя... сміх... Не говори тостів хвалебно-пишних, А помолись за мертвих і живих. Із сайту Благодійного фонду «Віта Дольче», проект «Воїнам Світла від поетичної сотні України, присвячується...»
