Is Ukraine's landscape polluted?
What are major sources of air pollution ?
What is Green World?
Pollution is the contamination of the environmental situation, including air, wayer and land. Such contamination originates from human activities. Pollution became evident in Ukraine with industrial development in the century. Ukraine contains some of the most polluted landscapes in Eastern Europe.
Air pollution is especially severe in the heavily industrialized cities of Kharkiv, Luhans'k, Donets'k, Dnipropetrovs'k and Zaporizhia. Coal-using industries are major sources of high levels of uncontrolled emissions of harmful substances. Other Ukrainian cities with major chronic air pollution problems include Kyiv, Komynars'k, Makiivka and Odesa.
Over one-third of the emissions into the atmosphere originate from automobile transport. It is aggravated by the use of leaded gasoline and inefficient engines as well as a lack of catalytic converters.
Almost all surface waters of Ukraine belong to the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov basins. The high population density and low protection have given rise to chronic and serious levels of water pollution in Ukraine.
The Dniester and the Danube are the most polluted bodies of water. Hundreds of small rivers supply water for villages and cities of Ukraine. Those water arteries are so polluted as to pose fatal health risk to the people who depend on them. About half o the chemical fertilizers applied in the fields are washed of into the river.
One of the areas suffering most from chronic coastal water pollution is the Sea of Azov. The sea's salinity has increased by 40 percent since the 1950's. It has resulted in a dramatic drop in fish catches by 60-90 percent.
On April 26, 1986 a horrible accident occurred at the Chornobyl nuclear station.
There was a nuclear reactor explosion, which had far reaching consequences.
Contamination by various radioactive isotopes has affected the air, land and water of Ukraine. About 100,000 people were exposed to deadly levels of radiation before being avacuated. Recorded but unreported radiation levels in Kyiv the maximum levels by a hundredfold. Numbers of death and children leukemia have occurred in the affected areas.
Significant areas of lands will remain unsafe for food production for 8000 years. Workers enclosed the destroyed reactor in a steel and containment building, but radiation continues to leak from this structure.
After the Chomobyl disaster the environmental situation has become much worse. Ukraine appealed to the UNO requesting help to overcome the disaster aftermath. The ecological organization Green World is active in Ukraine.
Since 1991 Environmental Protection Law has been in force. Environmental safeguards of conservation bodies have become more stringent. Ecological monitoring has covered Ukraine's whole area. The Governmental Commission on the Problems of the Dnieper and Drinking Water has been set up.
Ukraine has joined international cooperation in the field of environmental protection. Agreements have been signed with conservation bodies of the USA,
Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Germany and Latvia. The Ukrainian delegation took part in the UNO Conference on the Problems of Environment.

Kyiv
Kyiv /population 3,000,000/ is the capital and largest city of Ukraine and one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. The city is also the political, economic, and cultural center of Ukraine. It lies in north-central Ukraine on the Dnieper /Dnipro/ River, in a rich agricultural and industrial region.
The central area of Kyiv lies on the hilly western bank of the Dnieper. There buildings dating from the Middle Ages to the present stand near each other.
Landmarks of Kyiv include St. Sophia's Cathedral and the Golden Gate of Yaroslav the Wise, both completed in 1037. The Monastery of the Caves, which has a network of catacombs, also dates from the Middle Ages. Mariinsky Palace and the Church of
St. Andrew, both built during the mid- 1700's, are important examples of the architecture of that period.
Kyiv is known for its attractive parks and famous Main Boulevard, Khreshchatyk Street. The city has a number of colleges, universities, and research institutes.
Kyiv's beginnings go back to the Stone Age. There is a legend about founding of
Kyiv. Once there were three brothers, Kyi, Shchek, and Khoriv, and they had a young sister Lybed. They founded a city on the hills and called it Kyiv after the eldest brother. It is believed that Kyi did exist — that he was a Prince of the Poliane tribe and lived in the 7fr c.
The city was founded by Slavic people, possibly as early as the A.D. 400's. In 882 Prince Oleg of Novgorod, having seized Kyiv, was known to have said: "This will be the mother of all Russian towns!"
Kyiv remained the capital for nearly three centuries.
In December 1240 the Mongol-Tatar forces led by Khan Batu besieged Kyiv. Mongol invaders destroyed much of the city in 1240. It was only by a miracle that the Cathedral of St. Sophia, St. Michael's Monastery and the Golden Gate survived the invasion half-ruined. The Mongols-Tatars ruled Kyiv more than a century.
Kyiv was rebuilt in the 1300's.
In 1793 the two parts of Ukraine united within the Russian state and 1797 Kyiv became the capital of Kyiv, Volhynia and Podillia Provinces. In 1632 the Kyiv
Mohyla Academy was founded. The great Russian scientist Mykhailo Lomonosov, the outstanding Ukrainian philosopher Grygory Skovoroda, and the historian Dmytro Bantysh-Kamensky were all students of the Kyiv Academy.
In 1991 the Ukrainian republic declared itself an independent nation and Kyiv became the capital of independent and sovereign Ukraine.

THE NATIONAL EMBLEMS OF UKRAINE
What is the National Flag?
What are the colours of the National Flag of Ukraine? Who composed the national Anthem of Ukraine?
The national emblems include the coat of arms, the flag, and the seal.
The Coat of Arms. The contemporary national coat of arms of Ukraine is Azure, a trident or. It is the most ancient and dignified of all the Ukrainian insignia. The classic form of the Ukrainian trident is found on the coins of Volodymyr the Great /979-1015/. The archeological finds of trident in Ukraine go back to the first century A.D. The number of specimens of the trident stands now at 200. It was a mark of authority and a symbol of the ethnic groups, which composed the Ukraine nation.
In the XII century, the image of Saint Michael the Archangel superseded the trident as the highest national device.
On March 22, 1918 the trident was adopted as the national device of the Ukrainian National Republic. It was adopted in the form of a Great and a Small Coat of Arms.
The National Flag. Ancient Ukrainian rules had different banners and standards. In 1848 the Supreme Ruthenian Rada in Lviv revived the coat of arms of the formed kingdom — Azure, the Lion Rampant Or. Two flags were used at that time. One represented the golden crowned lion on the light blue flag. The horizontally stripped flag, yellow above blue, became the national flag in Halytsia and all over Ukraine.
On March 22, 1918 the composition of national colours was decreed by a law of the Independent Ukrainian National Republic. On November 13, 1918, the light blue overt yellow flag was established for the Western Ukrainian National Republic. On March 15, 1939, the light blue over yellow flag was established for the Carpatho- Ukrainian Republic.
The Ukrainian Anthem. The Ukrainian Anthem, Ukraine Has Not Yet Perished, is of quite recent origin. In Western Ukraine after 1848 there were two songs which enjoyed popularity at national celebration and patriotic demonstrations. In the central and eastern Ukrainian lands the Testament of Taras Shevchenko was used for many years as a national anthem at manifestation and demonstrations.
In 1863 the Lviv journal Meta /Goal/ published the poem of Pavlo Chubynskyi /1839-84/, Ukraine Has Not Yet Perished. In the same year it was set to music by the Halycian composer Mykhailo Verbytskyi /1815-70/. This song with its catchy melody and patriotic text became popular among the Ukrainians. In 1917 it was officially adopted as the anthem of the Ukraine State.
The Constitution of Ukraine adopted by the Supreme Rada on June 28, 1996 defines the State symbols of Ukraine and State Hymn of Ukraine in Article 20.
Pavlo Platonovych Chubynsryi was born in Boryspil on January 27, 1839. He was the noted Ukrainian ethnographer. In 1870 he headed an ethnographic expedition in Ukraine.
Mykhailo Mykhailovych Verbytsryi was born in 1815 in the village of Uliuch near Peremyshl. He was one of the first professional composers in Halytsia. M. Verbytskyi was the author of 1 1 symphonies. He died on December
7, 1870 in the village Mlyny /now in Poland/.

Testament
Translated by E. L. Voinich /1864-1960/
Dig my grave and raise my barrow
By the Dnieper - side
In Ukraine, my old land,
A fair land and wide.
I will lie and watch the cornfields,
Listen through the years
To the river voices roaring,
Roaring in my ears. Bury me; be done with me, Rise and break your chain,
Water your new liberty
With blood for rain.
Then in the mighty family
Of all men that are free,
May be, sometimes, very softly
You will speak of me?
Dec. 25, 1845. Pereiaslav.
