Ukraine
Ukraine is a sovereign state. It has its own territory, government, national emblem, state flag and anthem. It is one of the largest countries of Eastern Europe.
There are such events in the life of every country that are kept through the passing centuries. Ukraine has a long history which reflects different stages of its historical development, numerous periods of its prosperity and decay.
For a long period our country lived under the rule of Poland, Lithuania and Russia. Ukraine formed part of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics under the name of Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic from 1922 to 1991.
Holidays in Ukraine
On the 16th of July 1990 the Supreme Soviet of the Ukrainian republic adopted "The Declaration of the State Sovereignty of Ukraine". Then on the 24th of August 1991 the Supreme Soviet adopted the "Act of the Independence of Ukraine". It was a document of a great historical Importance. This document proclaimed the formation of the independent Ukrainian state. From the moment of adoption of this act only the laws of Ukraine remained in action. This historical decision was approved by the all-Ukrainian referendum which was held on the 1st of December 1991. The Ukrainian people confirmed their wish to live in the sovereign end independent country.
Thus a new period in the history of Ukraine started.
There are dates and events in the life of our country that are memorable to every Ukrainian citizen. The dates of this kind are: the Victory Day, the May Day, the Constitution Day, the Women's Day, the Independence Day. These are national holidays, people do not work on these days.
The most important holiday of Ukraine is the Day of Independence, which is celebrated on the 24th of August. On this day in 1991 the independence of Ukraine was proclaimed and the Ukrainian people began to build a new society. We always celebrate this date.
We also celebrate the 9th of May — Victory Day — every year. On this Day we celebrate the anniversary of the victory over fascism in World War II.
On the 8th of March we celebrate the Women's Day. The Women's Day, which is celebrated on the 8th of March, is like Mother's Day in Great Britain. On this day you can see many men buying or carrying flowers. Children give their mothers presents, or send them postcards if they are away from home. We congratulate our mothers, sisters, friends, teachers.
Recently new national holidays have appeared. They are of religious origin.
They are: Christmas and Easter. In Ukraine Christmas is celebrated on the 7th of January. Christmas is the day when Jesus Christ was born.
