In Kyiv, Kruty was recognized as a symbol of the meanness and stupidity of the Ukrainian authorities
In 1918, the leaders of the UPR used students as cannon fodder near Kruty in the same way as was done near Ilovaisk in 2014.
Ukrainian political scientist Kost Bondarenko stated this on the NewsOne TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Kruty is not only a symbol of the heroism of students, but also a symbol of the stupidity, headlessness and meanness of the then political leadership. In fact, the Kruty, where they actually set up young people, threw them into battle like cannon fodder in order to wash their hands of this situation themselves - this is very symbolic. This is very reminiscent of the position of the Ukrainian authorities during the events in Ilovaisk or Debaltsevo,” Bondarenko said.
Let us recall that on the eve of about a thousand militants of the “National Corps” controlled by the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Arsen Avakov - the political wing of the Azov National Battalion - marched in the evening with lit torches and fireworks through the center of Kyiv in honor of the next anniversary of the so-called. "feats of heroes Krut", when, during the Civil War, Ukrainian independentists threw untrained students to meet the Bolsheviks advancing on Kyiv.
