Ukraine’s History, Culture, Art, and Literature
Of course, the writers at Ukraine.com hope that our website will be your first stop on the Internet superhighway to learn about this emerging travel destination, but to compliment your viewing, why not try the newly created Internet Encyclopedia of Ukraine?
FeaturesIvan Franko’s Timeless Words Craft a Ukrainian Portrait

FeaturesUkrainians’ Quest for Permanence and Sanctuary
What remains is history or rather, a memory of history for many older Ukrainians. Four walls, not or a country, are often a Ukrainian family’s only sanctuary, their faith in permanence, razor thin.

Two years after the peaceful protests that shone a spotlight on the falsified presidential elections and eventually ushered in the pro-democratic, pro-Western government of Viktor Yushchenko, Ukrainians are in a political funk. Disappointment and disillusionment with both the revolution’s opponents and the current leadership has soured the once buoyant mood.
