It has been 23 years since Ukrainians voted in a referendum to declare their independence from the Soviet Union. The referendum, held on December 1, 1991, received overwhelming support across Ukraine, with each region voting in favour of declaring Ukraine an independent state.
The vote was the culmination of months of independence movements across the Soviet Republic and showed huge support for a declaration of independence issued by the Ukrainian parliament on August 24.
Students and activists had held rallies throught the year calling for independence from Moscow.
The referendum asked a simple question: Do you support the Act of Declaration of Independence of Ukraine? The entire Soviet Union was soon dissolved, on December 25.
