Extractions: See also Other Sites: In the 19th century, the area inhabited by Ruthenians, as the Ukrainians were then known, was divided between Russia and the Austrian Empire. Austria got Galicia after the partition of Poland in 1772. Territory was later added, including the Duchy of Bukovina. From 1815, the former Polish possessions of Austria were known as the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria. Ukrainians were a majority only in the eastern parts of this kingdom. As a kingdom, Galicia had three flags. The origins of Ukraine's flag can be traced back to the convention of the Supreme Ruthenian Council, meeting in Lviv in October 1848. At this meeting, an emblem (coat of arms) for the Ukrainians was adopted. This was a golden rampant lion on blue [Encyclopedia Ukraine, Flag Bulletin, 1992

http://www.edhelper.com/ReadingComprehension_Geography_202_1.html

Extractions: By Ekaterina Zhdanova-Redman The history of Ukraine is an interesting story. It is the story of a group of people who lived through many hard times. These peoplethe Ukrainiansmanaged to hold on to their national identity through even the worst points in Ukrainian history. Not even the forced starvation of millions of their people split Ukrainians apart. The history of humans in the land of modern-day Ukraine begins thousands of years ago, when nomads from across Europe and Asia settled there. Among these nomadic groups were the Scythians, Sarmatians, Cimmerians, Goths, and traders from Greece. The Greeks understood the importance of Ukraine because of its location. Ukraine is located in the middle of ancient trade routes between Europe and Asia. The unification of the people in Ukraine began with the arrival of the Slavs. The Slavs were settling in Ukraine around the first century BC. Like the Greeks, the Slavs understood the area's importance to trade, and guarded Ukraine's Dnepr River. The Dnepr was, and is, an important water route between the Black Sea in southern Ukraine and the Baltic Sea, to the north of modern-day Russia. In 482 AD, a Slavic prince named Kyy founded the city Kiev, where many of the Slavs had settled. Within 400 years, a group of Scandinavian Vikingscalled Varangiansbegan bringing the Slavs together and improving trade through Ukraine.

Extractions: Ukrainian Banner Network HISTORY Ukrainians are deeply affected by the country's long history that predates the independent state by some 1,500 years. The march of successive civilizations from prehistoric times, the Scythians, Greeks, Varaungian, Slavic, and Turkic peoples have all left their mark. The birthplace of the Slavic state was Kyivan-Rus which flourished a thousand years ago. There is an old legend which tells of three brothers who found Kyiv (also known as Kiev) at the end of the fifth century. The brothers Kiy, Khoriv, and Shchek, along with their sister, Lybid, decided to name this newly founded land "Kyiv," after their elder brother. Kyiv bloomed during the end of the ninth century as a political center inhabited by Eastern Slavs. Kyiv had an advantageous trade route in the center of Europe which allowed it to maintain political and economic ties with the West. In 988, Kyiv's Prince Volodymyr the Great introduced Christianity to Kyiv making it the official religion of Kyivan-Rus. This move played an important role in Kyiv's political development and cultural relations with the European and Near Eastern countries. In 1240, Kyiv was invaded by the Tatar-Mongols led by the grandson of Genghis Khan. The city was captured and its glory fell into decline during the period of almost century-long rule by the Tatar-Mongols.

Extractions: Hetman Bohdan Khmelnytskyy signed the treaty of Zboriv. Khmelnytskyy, who had been leading a revolt against the Catholic Polish crown since the year before, had managed to surround King Jan Casimir's army of 25,000 as it came to the rescue of another Polish force of 15,000 holed up at a castle. The hetman's army of 80,000 consisted partly of Tatar troops under Khan Islam Girei, who, fearing the growing strength of the Cossacks himself, took a bribe from the Poles and forced Khmelnytskyy to make a negotiated settlement. The Zboriv treaty gave the Cossacks Kyiv, Chernihiv and other concessions, but most Ukrainian peasants were required to return to servitude, while Polish noblemen were allowed to reclaim their estates. Neither side turned out to be happy with the agreement, so fighting continued the next year. "...after eleven months of fighting against an enemy that was twice as strong, now came the order to leave this place without doing any more battle. This order was not comprehensible to every Russian, and the first impression of it was bitter and heavy ... After walking across the bridge, almost every soldier took off his hat and crossed himself. Behind this feeling there was still another one, heavy and gnawing. It was a feeling of regret, shame and anger. Practically every soldier who turned and looked back at Sevastopol, which had been evacuated, sighed with an unfathomable bitterness in his heart and shook an angry fist at the enemy." Leo Tolstoy, writing during the Crimean War.

Extractions: Like any person, Sergey has had his ups and downs, but neither has distracted him from the goals he sets himself. His style of music is largely unknown in Ukraine, but his counterparts in the West, Joe Satriani, Yngwie Malmsteen, Steve Vai, also don't enjoy the mass appeal of some western pop stars. Since early childhood, he had dreamt of becoming a musician. His mother was a professional singer, and all of his sisters attended music schools. At first, Chanturiya wanted to learn to play the violin. But at the age of 13, his mother bought him an acoustic guitar, which he has never parted with since. He took it with him to school and played it during breaks between classes.

http://www.ukrainian-woman.com/ukraine/history.shtml

Extractions: The first state to spring up within the boundaries of the present Ukraine was Kyivska Rus (the 9 th century). In fact, Kyiv Grand Princes ruled over vast territories from Baltica to the Black sea and Kuban and from Zakarpatya to the Volga. Kyivska Rus included Kyiv, Novgorod, Smolensk and later Moscow, which was founded by Kievities. This was a period of power and glory. In 988 Prince Volodymyr introduced Christianity as the official state religion. The christening of Kyivska Rus took place in Kyiv on Dnipro river. Two monks settled in the caves under Kyiv hills in the 11 th century. Soon a cave monastery sprang up there. Now it is known in the whole world as Kiyevo-Pecherska lavra. Under Volodimirs successor Yaroslav the Wise (1019-1054) Kyiv Rus rose to the peak of its development becoming one of the major political powers in Europe. Genoese Fortress in the town of Sudak Kiev, as the capital of Kyivska Rus, was one of the richest and most developed cities of Europe where the arts flourished.
Security Service Of Ukraine : History
history of the Security Service of ukraine (Part 1)
http://www.sbu.gov.ua/eng/history/

Extractions: The need to reform the former Union and republican systems of state security authorities arose right after Ukraine declared its independence. On September 20, 1991, by adopting the Regulation "On Establishment of the National Security Service of Ukraine," the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine (Ukraine's Parliament) liquidated the State Security Committee of the Soviet Socialist Republic of Ukraine (Ukrainian KGB). In the shortest possible time, it was necessary to resolve issues relating to the formation of new departments while staffing them with professionally trained officers committed to building up independent Ukraine, and creating a regulatory and legislative framework. On March 25, 1992, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine approved the Law "On the Security Service of Ukraine," which became yet another proof of Ukraine's firm course toward building a democratic state ruled by law. Unlike their predecessors, officers of the new Ukrainian Security Service got an opportunity to operate based on an explicit legal base - the Laws of Ukraine "On the Security Service of Ukraine," "On Operational and Investigative Activities," "On Organizational and Legal Principles in the Fight against Organized Crime, " "On State Secrets", "On the Fight against Corruption," etc. Being conscious of new internal and external political realities that took shape after Ukraine declared its independence and guided by Ukraine's intention to become a member of the world community of civilized democratic states that would play an important role in the world, the SBU has unconditionally gave up the idea of applying an embracing global approach and using the image of the main enemy or hostile side, as well as uncivil and inhumane methods of operation in its activities. From the very outset, the SBU provided active assistance to the country's top echelon in resolving extremely important issues by priority directions of the statehood development, year by year building up its potentials and responding with flexibility to changes in operating conditions. The SBU, as a special-purpose law enforcement authority established in conformity with new principles, has its own role in the system of state authorities.
Security Service Of Ukraine : History
history of the Security Service of ukraine (Part 3)
http://www.sbu.gov.ua/eng/history/hist3.shtml

Extractions: In accordance with its authority, the Security Service of Ukraine carries out counterintelligence activities to counteract large scale embezzlement of public or collective property, stealing, or illicit use of budget resources in financial, banking, and credit sectors, as well as funds drawn from privatization or foreign trade. In this connection, the Security Service is involved in monitoring the receipt and use of ear-marked state and foreign loans.It also participates in the returning of currency assets from abroad and in expert assessment of large contracts with foreign companies. One of the SBU's tasks is to counteract money laundering. Thus, the Security Service operates not only in order to protect but also to improve the economy. From the very beginning of its establishment it has been one of the top priorities for the Security Service to combat terrorism. In many countries this problem has superseded other threats and has come to the forefront. Just because of the preventive and protective measures that were taken, there has been no large scale and grave acts of terrorism in Ukraine. Recently, some terrorist actions have been uncovered in cooperation with other law enforcement bodies. In particular, the SBU has averted illegal extremist acts against several diplomatic missions that some foreign individuals intended to commit in the territory of Ukraine. Any attempts to unfold preparation of terrorist acts or find shelter from criminal prosecution for such activities while staying in Ukraine are and will be decisively stopped by the Security Service.

Extractions: of Ukraine News About Ukraine Major Religions Religion and Society ... About Ukraine History print this page Western Ukraine lies at the center of the prehistoric Slav homeland. From here later generations migrated outwards to settle in Eastern Europe, Russia and the Balkans. The Slav tribes remained disunited until the expansion of the Scandinavian peoples sent Vikings across the Baltic to the river systems of Belarus and down the Dniepro to the Black Sea. In the ninth century, at the hills of Kyiv, the Scandinavians organized the local tribes to form the Varangian (Vikings) princedom of Kyivan Rus. Situated at the meeting point of two great trade routes, the Varangian (north to south) and the Silk Road (east to west), Kyivan Rus developed into a considerable European state. But the coming of the Mongol hoards in the 13th century ended independence and in the following centuries Ukraine was controlled and divided between Poland, Lithuania-Poland and the Austrian Empire. In 1654, central and eastern Ukraine became part of the Muscovite empire to where many Ukrainians had previously migrated during the Mongol invasions. Taking their language and religion with them they had influenced the development of the princedom of Muscovy, which in 1621 became known by the Ukrainian name of Russia.

Extractions: Most of the territory of what is modern Ukraine was annexed by Poland and Lithuania in the 14th century, but during that time, Ukrainians began to conceive of themselves as a distinct people, a feeling that survived subsequent partitioning by greater powers over the next centuries. Ukrainian peasants who fled the Polish effort to force them into servitude came to be known as Cossacks and earned a reputation for their fierce martial spirit and love of freedom. In 1667, Ukraine was partitioned between Poland and Russia. In 1793, when Poland was partitioned, much of modern-day Ukraine was integrated into the Russian Empire. The 19th century found the region largely agricultural, with a few cities and centers of trade and learning. The region was under the control of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the extreme west and the Russian Empire elsewhere. Ukrainian writers and intellectuals were inspired by the nationalistic spirit stirring other European peoples existing under other imperial governments and were determined to revive Ukrainian linguistic and cultural traditions and reestablish a Ukrainian state. Taras Shevchenko (1814-1861), national hero of Ukraine, presented the intellectual maturity of the Ukrainian language and culture through his work as a poet and artist. Imperial Russia, however, imposed strict limits on attempts to elevate Ukrainian culture, even banning the use and study of the Ukrainian language.

Extractions: While peace negotiations were going on, Austro-Hungarian and German troops occupied much of the Ukraine in order to exert pressure on the Russian delegation. On March 3rd the PEACE OF BREST-LITOVSK was signed, according to which the RSFSR conceded Ukrainian independence. On April 29th 1918, MYKHAYLO HRUSHEVSKY was elected Ukrainian president; central powers' forces were withdrawn from Ukraine. On November 3rd 1918 Austria-Hungary signed an armistice; already on November 1st, a WESTERN UKRAINIAN NATIONAL REPUBLIC was founded in what was Austrian EASTERN GALICIA. On January 22nd 1922, both Ukrainian republics merged. By late July 1919, Poles had seized control of Eastern Galicia (= Western Ukraine); the Poles held on to it during the POLISH-RUSSIAN WAR of 1919-1920 and it remained part of Poland until 1939. In the meantime, the RUSSIAN CIVIL WAR had begun. Entente forces had landed on the Crimea in summer 1918, supporting generals DENIKIN and WRANGEL operating from/on Ukrainian soil. By December 1919 the RED ARMY took control of Ukraine (except the Crimea and the Western Ukraine) and formed an UKRAINIAN SOVIET REPUBLIC. By October 1920 the Red Army took the Crimea; Gen. Wrangel went into exile.

Extractions: The History of Ukraine-Rus' volume 8 deals with the period when the Cossacks' emergence as a political power and the Khmelnytsky Uprising made Ukraine a focal point in European and Near Eastern affairs. Based on an exhaustive examination of the sources and scholarly literature, Hrushevsky's volume 8 stands as the most comprehensive account of this dramatic period in Ukrainian history. Ukraine's central role in the international politics of the time makes the volume important to specialists and students of East European, Central European, Ottoman, Russian, and Jewish history, as well as to those studying revolution and state building in early modern Europe.

According to its organizers the lecture was a success beyond all expectations. Despite the fact that for many in the United Kingdom and elsewhere, Ukraine still remains, in Szporluk's characterization, a largely “unsuspected nation, a tabula russa," more than seventy University faculty, students, members of the Ukrainian community attended his lecture. Some came from as far away as London and Oxford (a 3.5-hour bus ride); some took a day off work or cancelled other plans. In recognition of this auspicious academic initiative, the Embassy of Ukraine dispatched at once three of its officials to the event. Clearly everyone in the audience found something to learn about modern Ukraine in the making. Yuri Shevchuk, Toronto, Canada;
UKRAINE: A HISTORY

http://www.umanitoba.ca/cm/cmarchive/vol17no3/ukrainehistory.html

Extractions: 1989 May This impressive book written by a York University professor of history should become the standard work about the Ukraine. The book covers Ukraine's history from the earliest to contemporary times. Subtelny, who has written other material in this area, has succeeded masterfully in giving a thorough account of the political, social, economic and cultural aspects of Ukraine's story as a nation. Its big strength lies in the intertwining of these various facets. The book, while being scholarly, is very readable as a high school or university reference. The book has an excellent selection of photographs, drawings and sketches. These have been thoughtfully laid out to complement the text. The photographs of a recent Ukrainian activist rally add a particularly timely touch with the era of glasnost upon us. A good portion of the book focuses on modern times. Included in the volume are twenty-nine superb maps; their inclusion adds a dimension not normally found in this type of undertaking. There are extensive notes, a useful index and an excellent bibliography.
