It wasn't so long ago that Crimea was considered a part of Russia. Before the Soviet Union, the Russians called the area 'Crimea' and the people 'Crimeans.' Now, however, the majority of people living there call themselves 'Ukrainians' and many Russians and Ukrainians are actively trying to unify the two countries, which is just fine with me. After all, I don't think there's any harm in a united Ukraine.

Russia had always been known as a large, big, and powerful country. At the beginning of the 20th century, however, Russia became a nation that was ruled by tsars. In 1917, Russia changed from being a monarchy to a communist government. This was the start of the Russian Revolution, which lasted for a few years. In 1921, the Russian communist government was overthrown by another communist government. This was the end of the Russian Revolution.

The Russian communist government was replaced by another communist government, which lasted for five years. This was the start of the period of the Soviet Union. In the 1980s, the Soviet Union was in serious trouble. The Soviet communist government was overthrown by a nationalist government, which lasted for four years. After the Soviet Union collapsed, Russia was split up into several countries, including Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, and others. In 1992, Ukraine became a country that was independent of Russia.

I think that Ukraine is a fine country. There's no doubt that the majority of people living there are very kind, friendly, and generous. They have an excellent educational system. The people of Ukraine are also very patriotic. In fact, the first president of Ukraine was the person who was the head of the Ukrainian Communist Party.

Ukraine is a very large country, covering an area of about 500,000 square miles. Ukraine has a population of about 46 million people. The capital of Ukraine is Kiev. The city of Kiev is located in the central part of Ukraine.
