Ukraine was the birthplace of the Slavic East. Kiev was the ancient city of the east that’s greatness rivaled Byzantium. Ukrainian Princes and Princesses ruled a civilization referred to as the third Rome. After a 300 year golden age, Ukraine was absorbed into Russia. However, the culture and language survived. After numerous courageous liberation attempts, Ukrainians got their dream in 1991. Further in 2005 the world saw the courage of the Ukrainians again, when they peacefully stood up for their freedom.

Ukraine is known for not only being the bread basket of Europe but also the home of some of the brightest minds in the world. From rocket scientists to world chess champions to gold medalists to world class poets and musicals. The culture of Ukraine is a diverse as its climate. From the snowy banks of the Dnieper, to the sub tropical olive groves and palm trees of Crimea, Ukraine is truly fascinating country.

The beauty of the men and women of Ukraine is also legendary, with some of the most famous actors, models and films stars in the world.
