To begin with, 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 1500th 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-Pecherska Lavra. It is breathtaking to wander along the streets of the old town, to feel the breath of history.
To add more, the 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. You may come to Poltava and visit the museum of the famous Poltava battle, the field where Peter the Great defeated the Swedes.
As for me, I ‘d like to go to Zaporizhia, to the island of Khortytsia, where the Ukrainian Cossacks’ organization was born. It’s my real dream. And I think it‘ll come true.
All in all, 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 sights.
