Sergey Nadal: "the Feat heroes of Kruty gave Ukraine an additional 2 years of statehood,"
the Next anniversary of the battle of Kruty Ukraine celebrates on January 29th. On this day 1918, a small group of volunteers, a little more than 500 people stopped the advance of four thousand Bolshevik troops. «This is not only a date to celebrate, but also a lesson of how a small group of people doing great things that affect the whole country, - says mayor Sergei Nadal. - In our time traditionally respect the sacrifice, but forget about the importance of these historical events. Feat Kruty for a few days, stopped the Russian offensive guards and allowed the UNR government to sign peace at Brest-Litovsk and to save the Ukrainian state from occupation by the Bolsheviks in early 1918. Indeed, in the Brest delegation Bolshevik Russia has already prepared an appeal that Kiev is in the hands of the Communists and no UNR does not exist. So the battle of Kruty was not only of symbolic importance but also of great historical importance, which practically do not mention". The head of Ternopil adds, if you look at the events of 1918, we can find many similarities with the present. In 2014 the Russian side, and in 1918, Soviet Russia tried to present the events in Ukraine are "civil war". Also, as then, the people were disoriented and dissatisfied with the indecision of politicians who didn't see the threats until such time as the enemy troops were under the walls of Ukrainian cities. And most importantly, and in 2014 the first went to defend their homeland, volunteers. “the History, in practice, creates an active minority. First with’appeared volunteers. They won the first victories. Showed that it is possible to work differently. They brought respect for the military and the Ukrainian army was revived, - adds Sergey Nadal. - we must pay tribute to pam’'yat of those who was first then, and who became the first now. The amp’to remember that the biggest enemy of reform — it is the indifference of the majority and to Wake it is an active minority. To make our country and our common home better — it's mandatory’link to each of us to the fallen Heroes. And make the changes needed even when the majority still does not understand, or not willing to participate in them".
