Запитання 11

Beginning in the mid-1950s, outbursts of political protest against the totalitarian system gained momentum in Ukraine. An increasing number of illegal literature was published, and several dissident organizations and groups appeared. In late 1980s Gorbachev's perestroika and glasnost served to develop the society. In 1988 the Ukrainian Helsinki Union was organized. In 1989 the Rukh National Movement for Perestroika in Ukraine was formed (since 1990 known as the Narodnyi Rukh of Ukraine). On June 16, 1990 the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine passed the Declaration on State Sovereignty of Ukraine. On August 24, 1991, the Ukrainian Parliament solemnly' proclaimed Ukraine's independence and the formation of the independent state of Ukraine, proceeding from the right to self-determination, provided by the United Nations Charter and other international documents.

On December 1, 1991, the All-Ukrainian Referendum took place in the country, involving 84.18 percent of citizens, of which number 90.35 percent supported the Independence Act of August 24. Winning 61.6 percent of the votes, L. Kravchuk was elected the President of Ukraine. The nation supported L. Kravchuk's programme aimed at the construction of New Ukraine with a strong state system, genuine democracy, material well-being and elevated spiritual awareness. A new state, Ukraine, appeared on the world political map in 1991. It is a democratic state, ruled by the law. It includes 24 administrative regions and the Autonomous Republic of the Crimea. The state power in Ukraine is based on the division of authority into legislative, executive and judicial. The Verkhovna Rada (Parliament) of Ukraine is the sole legislative authority. The President is vested with the highest executive authority of the Ukrainian state. He exercises it alongside with the Government, the Cabinet of Ministers and through the system of central and local organs of state executive authority.

Judicial power in Ukraine is vested in the courts of law. The courts are independent and in all their activities abide' only by the rules of law.

The National Emblem of Ukraine is the Golden Tryzub (trident) on a blue shield. The National flag of Ukraine is a rectangular cloth with two horizontal stripes of equal width, the upper coloured blue and the lower — golden yellow. The National Anthem has been performed since January 1992 (music by M. M. Verbytskyi). The National Holiday, the Independence Day, is celebrated on August 24.

Ukraine is making the efforts to create an effective economic system, along with advancing the institutions of democracy, and raising the country's prestige in the international arena. By voluntarily rejecting its recent status as the world's third nuclear power, Ukraine took the first historic step toward a nuclear-free. Peaceful future, bringing mankind closer to the long-cherished goal and total nuclear disarmament.
