What do we know about Ukraine?

Created by John C. Hart (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) on June 18, 2008

I have just returned from my business trip to Kiev Polytechnic Institute. It has been my first visit to Ukraine so I was a bit afraid of visiting a wild slovanic country. So I decided to address to a Kiev trip agency. They met me in Boryspil airport and conveyed me and my luggage to my appartments that they rented for me in advance. I have lived for 2 months in Ukraine and I have only good impressions about this country.

Recently as many other post-soviet countries It has begun to develop. Now you feel in Kiev almost like in Europe, but services and products are considerably cheaper. People are kind and polite, though maybe only to foreigners :).

Geographically Ukraine is a state in Eastern Europe, bounded on the north by Belarus, on the north and east by the Russian Federation, on the west by Poland, Slovakia, on the southwest by Hungary, Rumania, and Moldova, and on the south by the Black Sea and the Azov Sea.
