Ukraine is a country with the glorious past. It is rich in historical monuments and different places of interest. Kyiv is the capital of Ukraine and one of the oldest cities in the eastern Europe. It has already celebrated its 1500 year anniversary. That’s why it is not surprising that a lot of interesting monuments are situated there, for example, the well-known to all Slavonic world St. Sophia’s Cathedral and Kyivo-Pecherskaya Lavra. It is breathtaking to wander along the streets of old town, to feel the breath of history. But Ukrainian places of interest are situated not only in Kyiv. Near the small town of Kanev the monument to the Ukrainian national genius Taras Shevchenko is situated. The museum, where the books, drawings and manuscripts of Shevchenko are kept, is situated in the village not far from Kanev. Even the house, where he was born, is preserved. It is very interesting to look at it. One may come to Poltava and visit the museum of the famous Poltava battle, the field where Peter the Great defeated the Swedes. One may also go to Zaporizhya, to the island of Khortitsa, where the Ukrainian Cossacks’ organization was born. One can go to Odessa and walk along the boulevards, where Pushkin walked a long time ago, and one can touch the trees, which Pushkin touched. It is also possible to visit the last house of Chekhov (now the museum in Yalta), where Chekhov lived, and where he wrote his last works, and where he died. One may visit the famous symbol of the Crimea — the castle «Swaltow’s Nest» or the residence of Russian tsars in Livadia. It is possible to go through Gogol places in the Poltava region and see Dickanka, Sorochintsy. One can continue this list, because there is also Western Ukraine with the Carpathians with their legends, feudals lords castles and cathedrals, with their unique culture and nature. There are a lot of places to see in Ukraine and to be proud of. And I am glad to live in such a country, with all those beautiful monuments.
