The exhibition taking place in the Kyiv Fortress Museum commemorates the victims of the battle near Kruty, one of the most tragic pages of Ukraine's history.

Some 300 students, cadets and high schoool students were killed during combat with the regular Red Army on January 29, 1918, to protect the new Ukraine’s People Republic against Bolshevik aggression.
