On January 30, 2019, students of the academic group PR-401, led by mentor Olena Makeieva, visited the exhibition of the memory of heroes of Kruty, which was held at the Scientific – Technical Library of the NAU.
During the event, the students remembered the battle of Kruty, which took place on January 29, 1918. This is a memorable, but on the other hand tragic event for Ukraine - a 5-hour battle between the 4,000 soldiers of the Russian Red Army under the leadership of Mikhail Muravev and a detachment of Kiev cadets and Cossacks of the Free Cossacks, which generally consisted of 400 to 800 soldiers. Students also mentioned the lines from Paul Tychyna's poem "The Memory of Thirty" devoted to the young Ukrainians who died in the battle of Kruty.
Through these events, students have the opportunity to get acquainted with the historical past of Ukraine and honor the memory of fallen heroes.
