Ukraine, a country located in eastern Europe, is the second-largest on the continent after Russia. The capital is Kyiv (Kiev), located on the Dnieper River in north-central Ukraine.

A completely independent Ukraine arose just late in the twentieth century, after extensive stretches of progressive control by Poland-Lithuania, Russia, and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (U.S.S.R.).

Ukraine had encountered a concise time of autonomy in 1918-20, however parcels of western Ukraine were managed by Poland, Romania, and Czechoslovakia in the period between the two World Wars, and Ukraine from there on turned out to be essential for the Soviet Union as the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic (S.S.R.).

Whenever the Soviet Union started to unravel in 1990-91, the governing body of the Ukrainian S.S.R. proclaimed power (July 16, 1990) and afterward inside and out freedom (August 24, 1991), a move that was affirmed by famous endorsement in a plebiscite (December 1, 1991).

With the disintegration of the U.S.S.R. in December 1991, Ukraine acquired full freedom.

The nation changed its true name to Ukraine, and it served to establish the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), a relationship of nations that were previously republics of the Soviet Union.
