Information About
A country of vast, fertile steppes and the picturesque Crimean Peninsula, Ukraine has been an independent nation only since 1991. Once part of the former Soviet Union, the sudden change from communist rule has meant harsh economic adjustments for many Ukrainians. From tales of the legendary Kozaks to the splendor of the Kievan Rus kingdom, from sunny beaches on the Black Sea to the rugged Carpathian Mountains, and from native Ukrainians to the resurgent Crimean Tatars, this book explores the history, landscape, and people that make up the nation of Ukraine.
