For the first time in nearly 100 years, none of the seats in Ukraine's parliament will belong to members of the communist party.
A parliament refers to a group of people who discuss and manage matters of state, similar to the legislature in the U.S.
Ukraine's parliament has been ruled by the Russian backed communist party for a long time now. But since Russia annexed a portion of Ukraine earlier this year, and another part of the country has been taken over by rebels, voters in Ukraine opted to cast ballots in favor of pro-European representatives.
Symbolically, many say this is a significant step for Ukraine away from Russia, towards Europe.
