Crimea is a picturesque spot as is, though we are going to put a couple of spots on its map to mark the most beautiful of its places.

The Emblem, the Flag and the Hymn of Ukraine are, of course, the first in the list when you think of the symbols. The Emblem with its long history dating back to Kyiv Rus, the Flag symbolizing the crop fields and the Ukrainian skies and the Hymn sounding almost like a prayer all the three evoke patriotism in the hearts of many Ukrainians. Though there are symbols that touch our hearts even deeper. Here are mine:
1. Leleka
Ukraine is famous for its history, language, Orange Revolution, cuisine, nature, palaces, castles and… prisoners! Ukrainian prisoners famous all over the world are what I’m presenting you today!

All of James Bond’s women are long legged and sexy, powerhouses of their own, and usually just what the famous British detective likes. Unafraid to dive into adventures with the dashing 007, they tend to not have any 
weaknesses. Olga Kurylenko, the newest Bond Girl in the new movie ‘Quantum of Solace’ may appear tough as nails on the screen, but is in actuality scared to death of heights. The former Ukrainian model told the press that she was scared while filming some of the movie, but that this did it anyway and worked through her fear.
“You have to do it, you have to jump off the roof and there’s no choice. I was so proud of myself when I did it. It was a big thing for me and thereafter it was like ‘wow, I did it!’ You feel such a sense of achievement,” she told the press after filming a harrowing for the actress scene for the movie. She also likes her character, Camille, who she describes as ‘very strong and very determined’. Olga goes as far as comparing her to a female version or James Bond and enjoyed learning how to fight, shoot, fly, and strip a gun for her role.

Even though Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko is having some major issues with his government, his daughter seems to be doing well in her new career as a runway fashion model. It seems that Vitalina 
Yushchenko was spotted working the runway at a Milan show by someone from Russia’s Izvestia newspaper in a showing of some of the newest summer fashions to hit the streets. The collection of clothing was by Ukrainian designer Aina Gase.
This isn’t the first time the president’s daughter has showed up in popular fashion media either. Her modeling portfolio also includes photographs for Russian Vogue and she used to be a pop singer before turning hip fashionista.
Vitalina, 27, is the mother of two and she’s the eldest child of the president from a previous marriage. It seems that both she and her brother Andriy, 23, are, as the media puts it, ‘trying to cash in on their father’s position as president’. They both lead high profile lives and the society pages chronicle their lives including where they live and who they are friends with to the point that another paparazzi nightmare like Diana’s could possibly happen. Yushchenko, like any good father in the public eye has reacted to the media’s scrutiny of his kids and feels they are trying to simply sell newspapers.
You don’t have to be Indiana Jones to enjoy a good romp through the Odessa Archaeological Museum. Located in the Ukrainian city of Odessa, the entrance to the museum is marked by a significant statue of Laocoon, although this statue is not as large as the one of Mother Russia standing guard over the war museum in Kiev. That’s a big statue. Anyway, the museum is one of the oldest in Ukraine and any student of archaeology would want to visit it.
Founded in 1825, the museum was developed by the Odessa Society of antiquity and history. This group had been given the right to excavate in the Northern Black Sea Region and over the years they have collected over 160,000 exhibit worth of artifacts. It is one of the largest collections of Northern Black Sea ancient history and it contains relics from primitive and classical culture, relics from ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome, and a large, valuable collection of coins and medals. The artifacts from Egypt, Greece, and Rome are a good indication of how far the leaders of these three nations took their ancient conquering of other countries to heart in their own bids for world domination.
