Heroine of the Heavenly Hundred Lyudmyla Sheremet: the story of a doctor from Khmelnytskyi

Medical activist Lyudmyla Sheremet was born on November 21, 1942, in Makiyivka, in Donetsk region. Working as a doctor, she rose from a junior nurse to an anesthesiologist. Having lived her life in Luhansk region and Khmelnytskyi, Lyudmyla was known for her boundless assistance to everyone in need of her support.

She became an activist during the Orange Revolution of 2004 and during the Revolution of Dignity in 2014. Not ignoring political events, she stood up for her beliefs even when she was already retired. Unfortunately, her life was cut short on February 19, 2014, by a bullet that hit her head during a shelling in Khmelnytskyi. Medical assistance could not save her, and Lyudmyla Sheremet died the next morning.

For her indomitable spirit, struggle, and dedication to the ideals of freedom and dignity, Lyudmyla Sheremet became a heroine of the Heavenly Hundred and was awarded the title Hero of Ukraine. Her example will always remain in the hearts of Ukrainians. Glory to the heroes of the Heavenly Hundred and defenders of Ukraine!
