Legacy

General Kravs is depicted in the film Шаблон:Interlanguage link. However, according to Kyiv historian Andriy Rukkas, his figure is depicted incorrectly as his surname is distorted to Krevs. The film also presents both false information about the military unit with which Kravs allegedly dealt in the Carpathians, and the absurdity about the incomprehensible solitary travels and meetings with Petliura.[4]
