Summary/Abstract: The Ukrainian Revolution on Granite began as a student demonstration in early October 1990. It lasted a little over two weeks and directly involved slightly more than 300 people. Unexpectedly, this little-known student hunger strike turned out to be one of the most remarkable events of the late Soviet period. It set a blueprint for the future revolutions in Ukraine.
