Product Description
Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Ukraine," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Ukraine in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Ukraine when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name Ukraine, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. ... Read more

Serving as the administrative center of the Krasnodonskyi Raion (district), the city itself is also designated as a separate raion within the oblast. The population of Krasnodon in 1972 was 70,400, in 1989 it was around 53,000, in 2001 it was 49,921. Krasnodon was established in 1914 along the banks of the Welikyj Kamjaniza, a tributary of the Seversky Donets River, as the settlement of Sorokino. It soon became one of the centers of the coal mining industry of the Donbass region. By a Decision of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, on October 28, 1938 it was renamed Krasnodon. During the Great Patriotic War Krasnodon was occupied by Nazi Germany from July 20, 1942 to February 14, 1943. In that period, between October 1942 and January 1943, the anti-fascist Komsomol organization Young Guard operated in the city.

Excerpt: HistoryByzantine EmpireCrusadesEcumenical councilChristianization of BulgariaChristianization of Kievan Rus'East-West SchismBy regionAsian - CoptsEastern Orthodox - Georgian - Ukrainian The History of Christianity in Ukraine dates back to the earliest centuries of the apostolic church. It has remained the dominant religion in the country since its acceptance in 988 by Vladimir the Great (Volodymyr the Great), who instated it as the state religion of Kievan Rus', a medieval East Slavic state. Although separated into various denominations, most Ukrainian Christians share a common faith, a unique blend of Byzantine practices and Slavic mythology. These Eastern Christian traditions, in the form of both Eastern Orthodox and Eastern Catholic Churches, have been at various historic times closely aligned with Ukrainian national self-identity. Currently, three major Ukrainian Orthodox Churches coexist, and often compete, in the country: the Ukrainian Orthodox Church - Kiev Patriarchate, the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate), and the Ukrainian Autocephalous Or...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=314068 ...

A poorly researched book with factual and other errors
Sadly, this is one of the very few books with information on this part of the world - and it gets many facts wrong. This book is obvoiusly aimed at the K-12 market, and aims to function as a primer on this region.Unfortunately, it fails.

* Ukrainian place names are invariably given inRussian instead of Ukrainian (for example, Kyiv is spelled Kiev in thisbook).

* Moldovan place names are either not spelled correctly - e.g."Belsiy" for Balti, or given in Russian - e.g."Kishinev" for Chisinau.

* Country names are not accurate - forexample, the German Democratic Republic is labeled as "EastGermany".

* Information on these countries' ethnic minorities isshallow. The Gagauz and Bulgarian minorities in Moldova are simply labeledas "other", and the percentage of the pie chart given to these"others" is wrong (13 per cent instead of approximately 4 percent).

* Finally, many other details are wrong. For example, Moldova isdescribed as having "abundant natural resources and well-developedindustries", when in fact Moldova imports nearly all of its power andnatural resources, and has virtually no developed industry save for somedecaying factories in the Trans-Dniestr Republic.

In short, save yourmoney. If you're looking for information on these countries, lookelsewhere. ... Read more

Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:Streams and Rivers of the UkraineThe Ukrainian rivers are genuinely typical of Eastern Europe. The great uniformity of the surface configuration of the Ukraine is responsible for the lack of that variety in its own river system which characterizes the waters of Western and Central Europe. But the great extent of the land does cause the Ukraine to have mountain, plateau and lowland streams, so that it does not attain the degree of uniformity in hydrographic conditions of Russia proper.The Ukrainian river system concentrates in the Black Sea. From northwest, north and east, the rivers of the Ukraine tend toward its sea. Besides, the western boundary lines of the Ukraine lie on the Baltic slope. There, in Podlakhia, in the Kholmshchina, on the San River and in the Lemko country, the Ukrainian people has had its seats since the dawn of its history. In most recent times Ukrainian colonization has gained also parts of the Caspian slope on the Kuma and Terek Rivers. But the region drained by the Black Sea surpasses both the other regions so much in extent and in the size of its rivers, that the Baltic and Caspian region of the Ukraine dwindle in comparison. Nature has, therefore, turned the Ukrainian nation toward the south and southeast to the Black Sea. But, at the same time, she has not denied the Ukraine a convenient connection with the north and south of the globe. The main European river divide is, perhaps, nowhere so flat and so easy to cross as in Ukrainian territory. From the Dniester to the San (bifurcation of the Vishnia creek near Rudky), from the Pripet to the Buh and Niemen the passages are easy. Since ancient times portages haveexisted here, and in modern times the Pripet has been connected with the Buh and the Niemen by means of canals (King's Canal and Oginski Ca... ... Read more

Excerpt: Berdyansk (Ukrainian: , translit. Berdyans'k, Russian: , Berdyansk) is a port city in the Zaporizhia Oblast (province) of south-east Ukraine. Serving as the administrative center of the Berdyansky Raion (district), the city itself is directly subordinate to the oblast, and is located on the northern coast of the Sea of Azov. The current estimated population is around 125,000 (as of 2001). Berdyansk is known in Ukraine due to its sea port and industries. It is also home to a health resort with mud baths and climatic treatments. The city was founded in 1827 when the foundations of the new sea port were laid. Its original name was Kutur-Ogly. The neighbouring settlement arisen due to these foundations was known under the name Berdy. The name of the city was changed to Novo-Nogaisk in 1830 (meant "New Nogaisk") (see Nogai). Its present name was given to the city in 1841 by the special decree of Nicholas I. The name "Berdyansk" is derived from the name of the river Berda falling into the sea not far from the city. Between 1939 and 1958 the city was known as Osypenko, named after Hero of the Soviet Union Polina Osypenko. This name is now used by the nearby village Osypenko, where Polina Osypenko was born. At present, Berdyansk is a local centre with well-developed machine building, metal working and textile and food manufacturing enterprises. Since late 19-th century, Berdyansk has also been renowned as a mud cure and climatic resort. Commercial Sea Port of Berdyansk is the only sea junction of Zaporizhia Oblast .

Product Description
Regional development becomes an important issue in both developed and developing societies as regional inequality evolves with time. Few analyses have been done on regional inequalities of the former Soviet countries such as Ukraine. This lack of research can be explained by the socialist regional policy of equality that was dominant during the Soviet era. During transition to the market economy inequality has increased entailing negative processes in the society. A broad goal of this study is to improve understanding of regional development processes in countries that are in transition from centrally planned to market economy such as Ukraine. The objectives that lead to this goal are narrowed to the following: to identify inequality in regional development of Ukraine in a dynamic time framework, to model relationships between the level of economic development and factors that stimulated development, and to analyze mechanisms of regional policy that influence regional development. The results of this study should be useful to those who conduct a research on inequality and regional development policy, or anyone who is interested in the development path of the post-Soviet countries. ...

Product Description
A droughtis an extended period of months or years when a region notes a deficiency in its water supply. Generally, this occurs when a region receives consistently below average precipitation. It can have a substantial impact on the ecosystem and agriculture of the affected region. Although droughts can persist for several years, even a short, intense drought can cause significant damage and harm the local economy. This global phenomenon has a widespread impact on agriculture. The United Nations estimates that an area of fertile soil the size of Ukraine is lost every year because of drought, deforestation, and climate instability. Lengthy periods of drought have long been a key trigger for mass migration and played a key role in a number of ongoing migrations and other humanitarian crises in the Horn of Africa and the Sahel. ...
