Caro bJOrcita Hur weiler: "Kiev or Kyiv (Ukrainian: Київ is the capital and the largest city of Ukraine, located in the north central part of the country on the Dnieper River. The population as 2013 was 2.8 million making Kiev at least 8th largest city in Europe. Kiev is an important industrial, scientific, educational, and cultural centre of Eastern Europe. It is home to many high-tech industries, higher education institutions and world-famous historical landmarks. The city's name is said to derive from the name of Kyi, one of its four legendary founders (see Etymology, below). During its history, Kiev, one of the oldest cities in Eastern Europe, passed through several stages of great prominence and relative obscurity. The city probably existed as a commercial centre as early as the 5th century. A Slavic settlement on the great trade route between Scandinavia and Constantinople, Kiev was a tributary of the Khazars,[8] until seized by the Varangians (Vikings) in the mid-9th century. Under Varangian rule, the city became a capital of the Rus', the first East Slavic state. Completely destroyed during the Mongol invasion in 1240, the city lost most of its influence for the centuries to come. The city prospered again during the Russian Empire's industrial revolution in the late 19th century. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union and Ukrainian independence in 1991, Kiev remained the capital of Ukraine and experienced a steady migration influx of ethnic Ukrainians from other regions of the country. During the country's transformation to a market economy and democracy, Kiev has continued to be Ukraine's largest and richest city. Kiev's armament-dependent industrial output fell after the Soviet collapse, adversely affecting science and technology. But new sectors of the economy such as services and finance facilitated Kiev's growth in salaries and investment, as well as providing continuous funding for the development of housing and urban infrastructure. Kiev emerged as the most pro-Western and pro-democracy region of Ukraine where parties advocating tighter integration with the European Union dominate during the latest elections.

Caro bJOrcita Hur weiler: "Kiev o Kiev (Ucraniano: Київ) es la capital y la ciudad más grande de Ucrania, situada en la parte central del norte del país sobre el río Dnieper. Su población al 2013 fue de 2,8 millones haciendola la octava ciudad más grande de Kiev en Europa. Kiev es un importante centro industrial, científico, educativo y cultural de Europa Oriental. Es hogar de muchas industrias de alta tecnología, instituciones de educación superior y famosos monumentos históricos. El nombre de la ciudad se dice que deriva del nombre de Kyi, uno de sus cuatro fundadores legendarios. Durante su historia, Kiev, ha sido una de las ciudades más antiguas de Europa, pasó por varias etapas: una de gran prominencia y otras de relativa oscuridad. Probablemente la ciudad existía ya en el siglo v como un centro comercial. Un asentamiento eslavo en la gran ruta comercial entre Escandinavia y Constantinopla, Kiev fue un tributador de los Khazars, hasta ser invadidos por los varegos (vikingos) a mediados del siglo IX. Bajo el gobierno Varega, la ciudad se convirtió en una capital de la Rus', el primer Estado eslavo oriental. Fué luego completamente destruido durante la invasión Mongol en 1240, la ciudad perdió la mayor parte de su influencia para los siglos venideros. La ciudad prosperó otra vez durante la revolución industrial del imperio ruso en el siglo XIX. Tras el colapso en 1991 de la Unión Soviética y la independencia Ucraniana, Kiev siguió siendo la capital de Ucrania y experimentado una afluencia constante migración de los ucranianos étnicos de otras regiones del país. Durante la transformación del país con una economía de mercado y la democracia, Kiev ha seguido siendo la ciudad más grande y más rica de Ucrania. Producción industrial de armamento dependiente de Kiev se cayó tras el colapso soviético, afectando negativamente la ciencia y la tecnología. Pero nuevos sectores de la economía, como servicios y Finanzas facilitaron el crecimiento de Kiev en salarios e inversión, así como proporcionar financiación continua para el desarrollo de infraestructura urbana y vivienda. Kiev surgió como la región más prooccidental y prodemocrática de Ucrania donde dominan los partidos que abogan por una integración más estrecha con la Unión Europea. Fuente: Wikipedia.org ""

Yulia Markova: "The national flag of Ukraine - its official state symbol. There is a theory according to which the yellow color symbolizes the wheat fields and blue - the blue sky above them. In instance the roots of the Ukrainian national symbols come from pre-Christian times, when the yellow and blue colors - symbolizing fire and water, prevailed in folk rituals."
