The Road to Independence
Olha
was
a
teacher
in
Lviv
during
the
final
days
of
Soviet
rule.
She
joined
peaceful
protests,
wrote
poetry
about
freedom,
and
taught
her
students
about
Ukrainian
history,
which
was
often
suppressed.
When
Ukraine
declared
independence
in
1991,
Olha
felt
a
surge
of
hope.
She
and
her
neighbors
celebrated
in
the
streets,
singing
the
national
anthem
and
waving
blue-and-yellow
flags.
Olha
spent
the
rest
of
her
life
teaching
the
next
generation
about
the
importance
of
independence,
ensuring
that
they
understood
the
sacrifices
made
by
those
who
came
before
them.
