Ukraine Soon after the declaration of independence and the ban on activity by the Communist Party of the Ukraine, a political platform was aimed at uniting all parties and political movements. Kovalenko, “The New Orientation of Ukraine,” Elementy 6 (1995), 38. Dontsov believed that it would be a disaster for Ukraine to submit to the influence of the alien mysticism of “Moscow-shamanistic Eastern Orthodoxy” with its messianic claims of being an “older brother.” Equally dangerous would be to accept the claim of the Jews that their religion is the basis of Western civilization. sicsa.huji.ac.il /14liud.html   (12652 words)

Ukraine 2001 Ukraine's golden age ended in September of 1982, when -- despite a hasty declaration of independence issued after the nuclear destruction of Moscow -- Ukraine was attacked with numerous nuclear and chemical weapons of mass destruction with the express intent of destroying the wheat fields of central Ukraine. Ukraine's armed forces are oriented towards the defense of Ukraine's national territory, with secondary orientations towards the defense of the wider European Confederation and peacemaking missions under the aegis of the League of Nations. In the aftermath of this terrible attack, a quarter of Ukraine's pre-War population died, and a thriving nation-state was prostrated. www.ahtg.net /TpA/ukr2001.html   (10555 words)

EDITORIAL: Eighty years ago (01/17/99) Before Ukraine's Parliament adopted the Act of Declaration of the Independence of Ukraine on August 24, 1991, Ukrainians around the world faithfully celebrated January 22 as Independence Day. Then, soon after the 1991 proclamation of independence, which was confirmed by the people of Ukraine in a nationwide referendum later that year, the government of Ukraine declared that August 24 would be celebrated as Ukrainian Independence Day. It came after the Ukrainian National Rada, the representative assembly of the Western Ukrainian National Republic, voted on January 4, 1919, in Stanyslaviv to unite with their compatriots in Kyiv. www.ukrweekly.com /Archive/1999/039911.shtml   (542 words)

Taipei Times - archives Thus, the country's declaration of independence 13 years ago was made in the name of "The people of Ukraine," and citizenship was offered to everyone who was born on the territory of Ukraine, regardless of nationality. My impression from the discussions was that both Ukrainians and Russians in Ukraine were acutely aware of the need to avoid ethnic conflict. Consider, for example, the robustness of the Russian language and the strength of the Orthodox Church-- Moscow Patriarchate-- in Donetsk that is in eastern Ukraine and the robustness of the Ukrainian language and the influence of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church in Lviv in the west. www.taipeitimes.com /News/edit/archives/2004/12/30/2003217319   (542 words)

Encyclopedia: Politics of Belarus Ukraine 's declaration of independence, in particular, led the Belorussian SSR to realize that the Soviet Union was on the brink of collapse. Belarus 's declaration of independence on August 25, 1991, did not stem from long-held political aspirations but from reactions to domestic and foreign events. Although the Supreme Soviet of the Belorussian SSR adopted the Declaration of State Sovereignty of the Belarusian Soviet Socialist Republic on June 27, 1990 (some two weeks after Russia had declared its own sovereignty), the March 1991 referendum held throughout the Soviet Union showed that 83 percent of Belorussians wanted to preserve the Soviet Union. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Politics-of-Belarus   (542 words)

Torontonians greet former President Leonid Kravchuk (08/31/97) Kravchuk added that most of the deputies assumed that sovereignty meant sovereignty within the USSR, and said it was amazing that within a year so much had changed that Ukraine was able to achieve its independence. Kravchuk said he was happy to celebrate the sixth anniversary of Ukraine's independence in Canada because of all the help this community has given Ukraine. He said the key was the July 16, 1990, declaration of Ukrainian sovereignty by Parliament, "of which 90 percent of the members were communists."

Pravda.RU Crimean Summit Ushers in CIS Integration Surely enough, the Yalta agreement resembles a declaration of intent, constituting only the first step along the difficult road of setting up the above-mentioned common economic infrastructure. The CIS summit which ended in the Crimea (Ukraine) late last week (the Commonwealth of Independent States unites 12 former Soviet republics - Ed.) could be called a routine event but for two circumstances. The thing is that President Leonid Kuchma is being subjected to extremely strong pressure by Ukrainian national-democrats, who believe that the Yalta agreement betrays Ukraine's national interests, that it runs counter to the Euro-Atlantic integration line, and that it might even cause Ukraine to lose its independence. newsfromrussia.com /world/2003/09/24/50132.html   (763 words)
