They came to assert their own rights and the rights of all Ukrainian people. Their thoughts and wishes were sincere, their hearts did not know a feeling of fear. We must remember that courage people: Pavlo Mazurenko, Serhii Nihoian who was just 20, Yurii Verbytkyi, Viacheslav Syr, Mykhailo Zhysnevskyi, Vasyl Moisei, Serhii Baidovskyi, Ivan Tarasiuk and others.
