January 23, 2005: Inauguration Day in Kyiv

I was here.

An estimated half million people gathered.

Indepedence Square was a sea of flags.

A TV news anchor reports from the center.

European Union flag

Catholic University flag

Canadian flag

Orange revolution flag, from Chernigiv.

A mural of newly elected President Victor Yushchenko.

A good perch for viewing the crowd.

Last day of tent city.
