Every year Ukraine honors the memory of the Heroes of Kruty. At the end of January 1918, four hundred students and high school students who heroically defended the young Ukrainian state were killed at the hands of the Bolshevik invaders in an unequal battle at Kruty railway station. Their feat is a symbol of patriotism and sacrifice of the Ukrainian people, who have always fought and continue to fight for the integrity and independence of the country (http://univd.edu.ua/uk/news/12070).
