Historic Rangoon University Student Union (RUSU)
Key notionnest of liberation and democratic movements the legacy of student unions destroyed heritage
Of small scale but even greater embodiment of political changes next to the university is the historic Rangoon University Student Union building RUSU [58]. Funded by donations of a wealthy Burmese businessman called Dr. U Nyo, the building was finished in summer of 1931. This establishment of the RUSU allowed the students to gather and stratify profound events that would change Myanmar’ narrative. Due to its crucial work from the liberation of the colonial rulership, the building has become since the 1920s a symbol of anti-colonial nationalism and anti-fascism.
