context_page_description: For our freedom and yours is one of the unofficial mottos of Poland. It is commonly associated with the times when Polish soldiers, exiled from the partitioned Poland, fought in various independence movements all over the world. First seen during a patriotic demonstration to commemorate the Decembrists, held in Warsaw on January 25, 1831, it was most probably authored by Joachim Lelewel. The initial banner has the inscription in both Polish and Russian, and was meant to underline that the victory of Decembrists would also have meant liberty for Poland. The slogan got shorter with time; the original had the form 'In the name of God, for our freedom and yours'. The original banner has been preserved in the collection of Muzeum Wojska Polskiego in Warsaw.
context_section_description: The equivalent slogan (Russian: За вашу и нашу свободу Za vashu i nashu svobodu) was very popular among the Soviet dissident movement after the historic 
  demonstration on Red Square in support of the Prague Spring on August 25, 1968.
  The same slogan was used at
  the demonstration at the Red Square 24 August 2008 and again on August 25, 2013, both suppressed by the Russian police.
