Ukrainian Culture & Traditions
Ukrainian culture is richly embedded
in ancient traditions. Even today many
historical songs such as the dumy and
the playing of the kobza – which was
popular during the 16th century – is
still enjoyed. However music has also
come a long way since then and Polissia
magic pop and Kolomiya rap tend to be
most popular. The culture scene has also seen a resurgence of Cossack songs and song poetry.
The Ukrainian people also enjoy their culture in the form of traditional dances and dance games. Many of these originated in rural Cossack villages and some of the oldest dances can be traced back to ancient cults. Traditionally many of these dances were performed only by males or females but today both sexes sometimes mix and enjoy the dance together.

Lion's town
Once upon a time, many centuries ago, the King of Volyn and Galicia Danylo traveled around his land, accompanied with his son Prince Lev (Lion). Crossing the Poltva River, he looked around and saw the hill not far away. “I will built a town there and the name of it will be Lviv in commemoration of your valor”, said the King.
The Prince kissed the King's hand and replied:
“Oh, father, thank you! I will take a good care of the town named after me!”
Lviv is one of a few cities of Ukraine called “the City of Kings”, complex mixture of Hungarian, Austrian and Ukrainian cultures.

Odessa - The pearl at the sea
On the Black Sea shore the nature created an amazing spot. In ancient days, its territory
was a home for Scythians, Greeks and Slavs. During the Kievan Rus period, it was a part of the Slavic State.
In the XIIIth century, a territory
of the city of Odessa was
conquered by Tatar-Mongols, in
early XVth century by Lithuania,
and in the midst of the XVth
century was attached to Turkey.
And, finally, in 1791 Odessa
became a part of the Russian
Empire…
Odessa was founded in 1794 by
Catherine the Great. The name of the city came about because of an
error. It was meant to be named after
the ancient Greek city of Odessos
or Ordissos, which was believed
to have been founded in the
vicinity.
Actually, it was somewhere near the present day town of Varna in Bulgaria. However, Catherine the Great liked "Adessa" — as the Russians and Ukrainians pronounce it.Modern Odessa is one of the picturesque cities of Ukraine, “the Southern Gates of the
country”.

The Swallowґs Nest is the
emblem of the Crimean Peninsular.
Like a swallow's nest, there is
a 38-metre-high cliff with a
castle which stands overlooking
the sea.
The Swallowґs Nest
In the second half of the 18th
century the property on Cape
Ai-Todor changed its owners
very often. Then it was bought
by one of the oil industrialist's
baron Steingel. He had a dream
to build a romantic castle and he
gave the design to engineer
A. Sherwood.
The "Castle of Love" or "Swallowґs Nest"
was erected in 1912. Its turrets, spires,
crenellations and loopholes give an
impression of unapproachable grandeur.
The castle with its picturesque masses
laid out of stone and lined with lime-
stone, blends harmoniously with the
cliff. Though it looks very fragile it
survived a heavy earthquake in 1927.
