20 лютого. День Героїв Небесної Сотні в Україні
Щороку в Україні вшановується пам'ять активістів та Героїв України, які загинули будучи учасниками Революції Гідності. Саме 20 лютого було вбито найбільше людей, які виборювали свої права та прагнули змінити ситуацію в країні.

Остап завжди вихваляється своїм геройством.
