Moving Ukraine

Ukraine is a country in Eastern Europe. It borders Russia to the north and east, Belarus to the north, Poland, Slovakia and Hungary to the west, Romania and Moldova to the southwest and the Black Sea to the south. The territory of present-day Ukraine was a key centre of East Slavic culture in the Middle Ages before being divided between a variety of powers, notably Russia, Poland, Lithuania, Austria, Romania and the Ottoman Empire. A brief period of independence following the Russian Revolution was ended by Ukraine's absorption into the Soviet Union, and the republic's present borders were only established in 1954. It became independent once more following the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991.

Living in Ukraine

Ethnic Ukrainians make up 77.8% of the population, ethnic Russians 17.3%, Ruthenians (in Transcarpathia) some 0.9%. The industrial regions in the east and south-east are the most heavily populated, and about 70% of the population lives in urban areas.

Other minorities include significant groups of Romanians (with Moldovans, 1%), Belarusians (0.6%), Crimean Tatars (0.5%), Bulgarians (0.4%),Poles (0.4%) and Jews (0.3%).

Ukrainian is the only official state language while the usage of closely related Russian is very important culturally and economically. They are spoken by 55% and 45% accordingly (but considered to be a native language by 67.5% and 29.6% of population, according to census-2001). Standard literary Ukrainian is mainly spoken in the western quarter of the country, including its cities such as Lviv. In central Ukraine, Russian is usually the main language of cities (including Kiev), while Surzhyk (a certain kind of dialect or mixed language with mainly Russian vocabulary and Ukrainian grammar and phonetics) is widespread in the rural areas (15% to 20%, according to some surveys). In the eastern quarter Russian influence is even stronger. In the Crimean peninsula Ukrainian is virtually unused, despite numerous attempts to introduce it as the only language of advertising, media, and administration.

The share of students receiving their education in Russian has significantly declined from 41% in 1995 to 24% in 2004, in favour of their Ukrainian counterparts. Still, many urban Ukrainian schools are de-facto Russian-speaking, especially in the East and South. Russian continues to be the language of international communication for many Ukrainians and is understood throughout the country.
