Procession to the Kruty Battle field. Процесія до місця бою під Крутами. Recently we received a letter from a young man in Ukraine named Levko. In it he writes about a trip he took from Lviv to the distant fields of Kruty, to mark the anniversary of a tragic and very important event which shaped Ukraine’s modern history. On January 30, 1918 the Bolshevik forces totally wiped out a Ukrainian untrained Auxiliary Student Battallion on the fields of Kruty. The courageous stand of these young boys and their ultimate heroic death became the symbol of Ukraine’s struggle for freedom Levko and a group of his friends traveled the long distance from Lviv to Kruty, which is northeast from Kiev, by bus. With them they carried Ukrainian flags and a cross fashioned from a birch tree. At the edge of the site of the 1918 massacre, these young people planted the cross, draped it with an embroidered Ukrainian rit ual cloth and placed a wreath of thorns upon it. Then they sang the Ukrainian national anthem. Birch tree cross at the Kruty battle field. Хрест вкопаний на місці іст оричної битви. ’’НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, БЕРЕЗЕНЬ 1990 21
