Ukraine Cooking Recipes
Richly endowed in natural resources, Ukraine has been fought over and subjugated for centuries; its 20th-century struggle for liberty is not yet complete. A short-lived independence from Russia (1917-1920) was followed by brutal Soviet rule that engineered two artificial famines (1921-22 and 1932-33) in which over 8 million died, and World War II, in which German and Soviet armies were responsible for some 7 million more deaths. Although independence was attained in 1991 with the dissolution of the USSR, true freedom remains elusive as many of the former Soviet elite remains entrenched, stalling efforts at economic reform, privatization, and civil liberties.

Ukraine is slightly smaller than Texas. The climate is temperate continental. Winters vary from cool along the Black Sea to cold farther inland and summers are warm across the greater part of the country, hot in the south.
