[edit] Understand
Ukraine is the second-largest country in Europe, albeit with a slightly declining population. Ukrainian is the official language. Near the neighbouring countries, Russian, Romanian, Polish, and Hungarian are spoken. Russian is a close relative of Ukrainian and is most often the language of choice in the south and east of Ukraine. Most of the country was formerly a part of Russian Empire; after the October Revolution and the Civil War, the entire country - known as the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic - was a part of the Soviet Union. Ukrainian history is long and proud, with the inception of Kyivan Rus as the most powerful state in Medieval Europe. While this state fell prey to Mongol conquest, the western part of Ukraine became part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth from the 14th until the 18th century, even modern Ukraine owes it a debt of sorts.
