KYIV - capital of UKRAINE
|
Kyiv, a scenic city of
close to 3 million people
situated
on the Dnipro River, is the bustling
capital of Ukraine. Ancient Kievan Rus,
which reached its greatest period of ascendancy
during the 11th and 12th centuries, was a center
of trade routes between the Baltic and
the Mediterranean. The city of Kyiv and the
power of Kievan Rus were destroyed in 1240
by Mongol invaders and the lands of Kievan Rus
were divided into principalities located
to the west and north: Galicia,
Volynia, Muscovy and later, Poland, Lithuania,
and Russia. Once a powerful force on
the European scene, Ukraine's fate
an modern times has been decided in far-off
capitals. As a result, modern Ukrainian history,
for the most part, has been defined by foreign
occupation. But after gaining the independence
by Ukraine in 1991 it significantly restored
it's political and economic weight.
