 | | Maidan Nezalezhnosti (Ukrainian: Ìàéäàí Íåçàëåæíîñò³ literally: "Independence Square") is the main square of Kiev, the capital city of Ukraine. |
 | | The old look of the square with its many fountains was replaced by a new, more modernist look with bronze compositions (featuring the statues of legendary founders of Kiev Kiy, Schek, Horiv and Lybid, folklore hero Mamay, and the city's protector Archangel Michael) and glass domes. |
 | | Maidan Nezalezhnosti received global media coverage in late 2004 during the Orange Revolution, as hundreds of thousands of protesters gathered in the square and pitched tents for several weeks, enduring the cold and snow. |
