borders of the Dnipro River, and it is the boisterous capital of
the Ukraine. Old Russ de Kiev, who reached their greater period

separated into principalities: Galicia, Creoles, Volynia,
Russia, Poland and Lithuania. The modern history of the Ukraine

inimitable treasures of architecture and the art were
destroyed. At the beginning of the decade of 1930 the Soviet
establishment destroyed several churches systematically.

nuclear reactor of Chernobyl exploded in the environs, but the

suffering, political instability and the ecological disasters,
the spirit of the Ukraine and the national identity never died.
In August 24 of 1991, later than the coup d'etat bankrupt in
Moscow, the Ukraine declared its autonomy. Since 1994, Ukraine
