Chernivtsi, or what it means to be tolerant
Founded in the 12th century, Chernivtsi is one of the oldest cities in Ukraine. It is a fascinating mix of all the different cultures that have converged on the region: Ukrainian, Jewish, Romanian, German, Polish, and later – Russian. The city is sometimes called “a little Vienna”. This is because its architecture is slightly reminiscent of the Austrian capital, or any other city of the former Austro-Hungarian Empire. Throughout the period 1774–1918, Chernivtsi, at that time called Czernowitz, was under Habsburg reign. In a record period of time this provincial city transformed itself into a gem of world architecture and a cozy university town famous for its intellectual discussions, cafes and bookshops >> |

Chernigiv: the city of hills and Orthodox churches
The first thing that catches the eye when you drive towards Chernigiv along Kyiv Highway is the golden-domed churches perched on high hills. The Boldyni (Bolda’s) Hills are Chernigiv’s main landmark. This city, one of the most famous in Ukraine, is almost 14 centuries old. In the agreement signed in 907 between Prince Oleg and the Byzantine Empire, Chernigiv is mentioned as the state’s second most important city after Kyiv. For quite a while, these two largest cultural centers of Kyiv Rus were rivals. Chernigiv does not yield to Kyiv either in the number, or beauty, or age of its architectural ensembles. Nearly a fourth part of all Ukrainian architectural monuments built before the Mongol invasion are in Chernigiv, the former center of the Chernigiv and Sivershchyna lands >> |
