The Orange Revolution

The Orange Revolution was a peaceful political movement in Ukraine during 2004, sparked by widespread allegations of election fraud in the presidential vote. Citizens protested and demanded fair, transparent elections, with many wearing orange as a symbol of their support. Mass demonstrations and international pressure ultimately led to a new, honest election, and the peaceful transition of power. The movement showcased Ukraine's desire for democracy, transparency, and closer ties with the West, highlighting the importance of civic activism in safeguarding electoral integrity.
