/* * DHTML Menu */ Sitesearch: Total Visits: Online: Ukraine History Ukraine has been the site of much conflict over the centuries. In the late 9th century Kyiv was captured by Varangians and made the capital of the state known as Kyivan Rus. In the 13th century the area was invaded by Tatar-Mongols. Galicia, in western Ukraine, was annexed by Poland in the 14th century. At the same time, Lithuania conquered Kyiv, but both then fell under Polish rule. In 1667 eastern Ukraine was ceded to Russia, and in 1793 the remainder of Ukraine—except Galicia—became part of the Russian Empire. Galicia remained part of the Austrian Empire, which it had joined in 1772. During World War I (1914-1918), following Russia's Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, Ukraine proclaimed independence. The Bolsheviks, however, assumed control in 1920, and in 1922 Ukraine joined the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). Between 1922 and 1939 the USSR suppressed Ukrainian nationalists, who hoped for the independence of a Greater Ukraine, including Polish Galicia and Czechoslovakian Ruthenia. Forced collectivization of farms caused famine in the 1930s, and more than 7 million people died in Ukraine. In 1939 Galicia was incorporated into Ukraine, and during World War II (1939-1945) Germany invaded, dividing the country into Russian Ukraine and West Ukraine. The USSR regained control in 1944, and in 1954 added Crimea to Ukraine.

BACK TO THE FRONT PAGE BASIC INFO. GEOGRAPHY GOVERNMENT BACK TO THE FRONT PAGE BASIC INFO. GEOGRAPHY GOVERNMENT ... UKRAINE The area of the Ukraine represents the beginnings of the original Russian state, about twelve centuries ago. The Mongols invaded the area in the 13th and 14th centuries. At that point, control of the region was in Lithuanian and Polish hands. In 1654, Ukraine became part of the Russian empire though shortly thereafter it was partitioned between Poland and Russia. The part annexed by Poland later came under the influence of Austria as Poland itself was partitioned. After the Russian Revolution, the Ukraine made an attempt to establish its autonomy but it eventually became a Soviet republic. In 1921, the region was once again divided: the western portion of the country was given to Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Romania and the eastern Ukraine became the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. Stalin's attempts to force collectivism on the Ukraine in the 1930s, resulted in millions of deaths, chaos, and famine (as in other of the SSRs at the time). The Ukraine declared itself sovereign in 1990 and the Communist party was outlawed in 1991, leading to a declaration of total independence. In December of that year, Ukraine joined other former SSRs in the creation of the Commonwealth of Independent States. Tensions with Russia since then have revolved around conflicts over nuclear warheads and other issues. The Ukrainian economy has yet to stabilize.

Ukraine: History One of the oldest human settlements in the world, over 800,000 years old, was unearthed in the Zakarpattia region in the southwest of Ukraine. Agrarian peoples known as Trypillians inhabited Ukraine some 5,000 years ago. The first millennium B.C. saw the formation of the Scythian tribal state, which both traded and fought with Greek colonists of the Black sea coastal region. The middle of the first millennium A.D. was dominated by loosely-bound tribes known as the Antes. In 600-700 A.D. the power of the Slavic tribes living in Ukraine gradually grew, as their settlements were important stopovers on the trading route between Europe and Asia. Through the efforts of early princes, an empire was born, known as Kyivan Rus'. At its height over a thousand years ago, the empire stretched from the Black sea in the south to the White sea in the north, from the Volga river in the east to the Carpathian mountains in the west. Kyivan-Rus' served as the bulwark of Europe against attacks from nomads from the east. By the 13th century, the empire was disintegrating and break-off city-states to the north gradually evolved into modern-day countriesRussia and Belarus.

Volunteer In Ukraine Volunteer Abroad Volunteer In The USA How To Apply ... Request Information History of Ukraine Arising From Kyivan-Rus From the 9th century AD, northern Ukraine was part of Kievan Rus , the first significant East Slavic state, which succumbed to the Mongol invasions of the 13th century. Ukraine was for centuries thereafter under the rule of a succession of foreign powers, including Poland and the Russian Empire. Throughout the early years of the second millennium, Kyivan-Rus was a strong empire. In 988, Russia was Christianized under Vladimir and assimilated into the religion of eastern Orthodoxy. Vladimir's emissaries were awe-struck by the overwhelming beauty and majesty of God portrayed throughout Christianity in Constantinople. Because of this, the relationship of church and state was fused through the Byzantine tradition. Kozaks and Bolsheviks Wrestle Away Power However, conflicts among the descendants of Vladimir the Great weakened Kyivan-Rus and left it vulnerable to attacks by Polovtsians, Mongols and princes of Suzdal in the North. One of them, Andrei, of the Yury Monomakh house, founders of the later Muscovite dynasty, took advantage of the disarray among the early Ukrainian princes and sent an army in 1169 to destroy Kyiv. The attack was successful and for many days the victors pillaged the churches and monasteries. The soldiers carried away icons, rare books, vestments, and killed many of the inhabitants. Most of the territory was annexed by Poland and Lithuania in the 14th century; however, during that time, Ukrainians began to conceive of themselves as a distinct people, an identification 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

In the 14th cent. the site, then under Lithuanian control, became a Crimean Tatar fortress and trade center called Khadzhi-Bei. In 1764 it passed to the Turks, who built a fortress (Yenu-Duniya) to protect the harbor. It was captured by the Russians in 1789. By the Treaty of Jassy in 1792, Turkey ceded the region between the Dniester and the Buh (including Odessa) to Russia, which rebuilt Odessa as a fort, commercial port, and naval base. The city that developed around the fort grew rapidly as the chief grain-exporting center of Ukraine; its importance was further enhanced with the coming of the railroad in the second half of the 19th cent. It was a free port from 1819 to 1849, and in 1866 it was linked by rail with Kiev, Kharkiv, and the Romanian city of Jassy. Industrialization began in the latter part of the 19th cent. Potemkin.

Short history of Ukraine Ukraine Galicia Ukraine under direct imperial russian rule World War 1 and the struggle for independence Soviet Ukraine ... Ukraine on the path to independence Ukraine Galicia Under Austria, ethnically Ukrainian Galicia was joined administratively with purely Polish areas to its west into a single province, with Lviv (German: Lemberg) as the provincial capital. This and the fact that, in the province's Ukrainian half, the Poles constituted overwhelmingly the landlord class and dominated the major cities (though many towns were largely Jewish) made Polish-Ukrainian rivalry a crucial feature of Galician life. Although, on balance, Habsburg policies favoured the Poles, Ukrainians (Ruthenians in the contemporary terminology) in Austria enjoyed far greater opportunities for their national development and made far greater progress than did Ukrainians in tsarist Russia. The fortunes of the Uniate church also rose. Renamed the Greek Catholic church in 1774, it was, by imperial decree, equalized in status with the Roman Catholic church, and in 1807 a metropolitanate was established, with its seat in Lviv. Imperial authorities took pains to raise the educational standards of the clergy. In the early decades of the 19th century, the clergy trained at newly established institutions almost exclusively formed the educated class, and their children, beginning to enter secular professions, gave rise to a Ukrainian intelligentsia. In the course of the 19th century, the Greek Catholic church became a major national, as well as religious, institution.

Lithuania began to expand eastward and southward, supplanting the Tatars in Ukraine. The dynastic union between Poland and Lithuania in 1386 also opened Ukraine to Polish expansion. Ukraine had flourished under Lithuanian rule, and its language became that of the state; but after the organic union of Poland and Lithuania in 1569, Ukraine came under Polish rule, enserfment of the Ukrainian peasants proceeded apace, and the Ukrainian Orthodox Church suffered persecution. In 1596 the Ukrainian Orthodox bishops, confronted with the power of Polish Catholicism, established the Uniate, or Greek Catholic, faith, which recognized papal authority but retained the Orthodox rite. Meanwhile, the Black Sea shore, ruled by the khans of Crimea , was absorbed into the Ottoman Empire in 1478.

H ISTORY As the country's capital, Kiev is Ukraine's political, industrial, and cultural center along with being a major transportation hub and river port. It was the former USSR's third largest city which entitled it to many economic benefits other former USSR cities did not have. These benefits would include the most modern of hotels, a large international airport, and direct passenger rail service to most parts of Eastern Europe. Kiev's population today is 2,651,300 which is 75% Ukrainian and 22% Russian, a mix which has resulted from centuries of economic, political and social ties with Russia. Its chief industries include the manufacture of complex machinery, notably aircraft, and precision tools and instruments. Kiev is also known for its chemical industries, food-processing and timber-wood enterprise, and its consumer goods and publishing industries. Kiev is Ukraine's most important educational and research center. It is the seat of the Ukrainian Academy of Science and a number of other research institutions. Approximately 150,000 students are enrolled in the city's 20 institutions of higher learning, the most important of which is Kiev Shevchenko University, founded in 1834. Kiev has numerous theaters and concert halls, including the Ivan Franko Ukrainian Drama Theater, the Taras Shevehenko Opera and Ballet Theater, and the Philharmonic Concert Hall. Administratively, Kiev is divided in 12 districts and is governed by a city council. District councils are subordinated to the city council and its chairman, who is the equivalent of the city's mayor. Starting in 1994, all government documents were to be written in Ukrainian in a move back to their mother tongue.

Books About Ukraine History - Available Now back "Above And Beyond: From Soviet General To Ukrainian State Builder" By Kontiantyn P. Morozov Harvard University Press, USA, 2001 NEW! "Above and Beyond: From Soviet General to Ukrainian State Builder" Kostiantyn P. Morozov, with an introduction by Sherman Garnett. "Above and Beyond" is the first book by a major Ukrainian independence figure to appear in the West and is the first by a former Soviet general to discuss the inner workings of the USSR's military. Morozov provides behind-the-scenes insights on Kuchma, Yeltsin, and other important players still active today. His book will firmly alter our perception of the USSR and its demise, the Soviet military machine, and the rise of modern, independent Ukraine. In September 1991 Major General Kostiantyn Morozov informed the Soviet Armed Forces Command that he was no longer a Soviet officer, but the new Ukrainian Minister of Defense. He then set out to create the Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF), mounting a brilliant campaign to remove from Ukraine military personnel who were not Ukrainian citizens and not loyal to the new Ukrainian state; taking over the Ukrainian-based assets, nuclear and otherwise, of the Soviet Army; and firmly grounding the idea of an independent UAF in the public mind.
