The Act of Declaration of Independence of Ukraine (Ukrainian: Акт проголошення незалежності України) was adopted by the Ukrainian parliament on August 24, 1991. The Act established Ukraine as an independent, democratic state. The Act was adopted in the time when the conservative Communist leaders of the Soviet Union committed a coup attempting to restore the Communist party control over the country. In response, the parliament of Ukraine on its special session overwhelmingly approved the Act of Declaration. The Act was passed by 321 votes in favor, with 2 votes against, and 6 abstain. The author of the text was Levko Lukyanenko. The same day, August 24, the parliament called for a referendum on support of the Declaration of Independence. The proposition for calling the national referendum came joinly from the majority leader Oleksandr Moroz, and the opposition leader Ihor Yukhnovsky. In the referendum on December 1, 1991, the people of Ukraine expressed widespread support for the Act of Declaration of Independence, with more than 90% votes in favor. Shortly after, the independence of Ukraine was recognized worldwide. 24th of August is celebrated in Ukraine as Independence Day. [edit] Act of Independence
