Sobornosty Day in Ukraine: celebration and its historical significance

Today, Ukraine celebrates the Day of Sobornost, which falls on January 22. This holiday is connected with the proclamation of the Act of Unification of the Ukrainian People's Republic and the West Ukrainian People's Republic in 1919.

Assembly Day has been recognized as an official holiday since 1999 due to its great political and historical significance - the unification of the Ukrainian People's Republic and the People's Republic of Ukraine to create a single Ukrainian state. The Act of Zluka defined the conciliar aspirations of Ukrainians from both parts of the country and became the basis for Ukrainian statehood.

An important moment was also the declaration of independence of Ukraine on August 24, 1991, which determined the modern history of the state. The first celebration of the Day of Sobornost took place in 1939 in Carpathian Ukraine, but it happened purely symbolically due to subsequent events, such as the occupation of Kyiv and other regions.

Subsequently, Ukrainians commemorated the Day of Sobornosty with various events, including "living chains" that symbolize the unity of the nation. This holiday has become an important support for national unity, especially in the conditions of external aggression, when the modern Russian Federation is trying to undermine Ukrainian statehood.
