We are an 18 year old country. Undoubtedly we all became more mature in the national issues. Today every Ukrainian has his own point of view on whether we need Russian as the second national language. The path was long and not serene. What did we get on our way?
1. The Independence
The Independence itself is the greatest thing Ukrainian people ever obtained. 90.92 % of citizens voted for it back in 1991. Everyone should be thanked in person, god bless Leonid Kravchuk!
2. Eurovision victory
Yes, a girl named Ruslana singing in Hutsul ethno style back in 2004 was a real achievement of Ukraine. And the next year we were lucky to host the show in the post-Orange Ukraine.
3. Orange Revolution
Mass protests, rallies, pickets, demonstrations of mass protests in Ukraine, organized by adherents of Viktor Yushchenko in 2004. The main result of the Revolution was that they finally looked at the map abroad to see where that Ukraine-country is at all!
