A year after their deaths, Ukraine is paying tribute to the first victims of a government crackdown on the Euromaidan protests that toppled President Viktor Yanukovych.
Hundreds of people in the western city of Lviv honored the memory of Mikhail Zhyzneuski of Belarus and Serzh Nihoyan, a Ukrainian of Armenian origin, by praying at a church and placing flowers at the graves of others who were killed during the protests.
A march was to be held in Kyiv later on January 22, marked as the Day of Unity in Ukraine.
Zhyzneuski and Nihoyan were shot dead in central Kyiv on January 22, 2014.
A third protester, Roman Senyk, was severely wounded that day and died three days later.
As the number of protesters shot by snipers or killed in clashes with police grew, the victims became known as the "Heavenly Hundred."
Russia annexed Crimea from Ukraine after Yanukovych fled in late February, and Moscow has backed pro-Russian separatists whose conflict with government forces has killed more than 4,800 people in eastern Ukraine since April.
No public commemorations were held for Zhyzneuski in Belarus, a Russian ally, and his mother said his grave had been vandalized.
