College students have always been the driving force of progress. Representing the younger generation, they have multiple times changed the history of humanity to build a better and brighter future for themselves.

Their schedules might be packed. Indeed, due to a hefty academic load, they tend to spend nearly 100% of their time studying and doing homework. However, they never stay away when there is a fight for something that matters to them. They find ways to take care of their academic matters. Now, for example, they can just say, “I want to pay to do my paper,” and get professional help with their tasks. This way, they get enough time to stand up for important things. And that’s why they always seem to be there when major changes occur.

Good examples of these statements are Ukrainian students. Ukraine has a long history of fighting for freedom and independence, and students have often played a crucial role in these struggles. In this article, we will take a walk down memory lane and remember the main examples of times when Ukraine’s fight for freedom depended on students.
