#OTD 2013-2014 EuroMaidan Revolution Started in Ukraine. What was Achieved? What is Next?

On this day, late in the evening, people came to Maidan Nezalezhnosti. They protested against President Yanukovych turning to Russia - while most Ukrainians want to join the European community.
Next day more people joined, students came.

What is EuroMaidan for Ukrainians today?
