Victory Day is traditionally celebrated on the 9
th
of May. Victory came 54 years ago. It was 
the victory of all peace loving people over fascism. People call this day “the holiday with tears in 
the eyes”. And it is really so. 
Our country path to victory took 1418 days. Long and hard days of the war were full of
people‟s sorrow, sufferings and tears and an equal measure of human dignity and greatness. The 
soldiers came through the hell of fire and the grief of loss. They won the victory for all our people 
and all Europe as well. 
Today we pay a tribute to people who won the peace in the whole world. I think it‟s our 
moral duty to honour the memory of those 20 million people who didn‟t see the Red Banner flying 
over the Reichstag and we must do our best that nobody and nothing should be forgotten. I am sure 
the war veterans need our care and attention today. 
The Victory day is a state holiday. Among them there are the New Years Day, The 
International Women Day, The Day of Working People Solidarity, The Constitution Day, The Day 
of Independence and some others. 
The other holidays are connected with religion, such as Christmas and Easter. Christmas in 
Ukraine is celebrated on the 7
th
of January. The most interesting part of Ukrainian Christmas is 
Christmas Eve (Sviat Vechir) with its wealth of ritual and magical acts to ensure a good harvest and 
life of plenty. Dead family members are believed to present and they are personified by a sheaf of 
wheat, which is called “did” or “didukh”. A characteristic feature of Christmas is caroling, which is 
accompanied by puppet theatre (vertep) and individual dressing up as a goat, and a handmade star. 
The religious festival lasts three days and involves liturgies, caroling, visiting and entertaining 
friends and relatives. The Christmas tree, which had been brought to Ukraine from the Western 
Europe, is today the essential part of the New Year celebration in Ukraine.
Its celebrations begin when the first star lights up in the sky. It means the birth of the God‟s 
son, Jesus Christ. The families get together to share their happiness. A holly supper is served(called 
Kolyada)- it is a meal of twelve dishes. It is also celebrated by Carolinas, fortune-telling and 
symbolic sowing of wheat. Cristmas is the time to visit your relatives and acquaintances. 
Another important holiday in the Christian calendar is Easter. It holds the keys to 
understanding Christianity. People prepare Easter pasky and pysanky or krashenky which are 
blessed in the church. Later on they are given as gifts or exchanged as a sign of affection. 
There is no doubt that holidays help us to remember our traditions and our past, be closer 
and more attentive to each other.

KIEV- The Capital of Ukraine 
Along the beautiful banks of the river Dniper lies the ancient city of Kiev- the capital of 
Ukraine, its political, administrative, scientific and cultural center.
Kiev owes its location to the Dniper river on which banks it is attractively situated. One half 
of Kiev‟s territory is occupied by parks and gardens. In summer, when trees are in full leaf, the city 
seems to be one huge park. 
Kiev‟s beginnings are lost in the remote antiquity. Its foundation goes back to the Stone Age 
and the story of its been founded is connected with the following legend. 
Once there were three brothers: Kiy, Shek and Khoriv and their sister Lybed. They settled 
down on the hi9lls above Dniper and founded a city named after the eldest brother Kiev. In honour 
of the youngest brothers one hill was named Shchekovitsa and the other Khorevitsa, while the river 
was called Lybed after the sister. The three Kiev hills which legend connects with the names of the 
three brothers still exist. 
The first is mount Starokievska, the second is Mount Shchekovitsa and the third- 
Khorevitsa, is mount Kiselyovka, which received its present name in the 17
th
century. 
Kiev is one of the oldest cities in Europe and thus it has many places of interest. Among them there 
are: Kievo-Pecherska Lavra (Monastery), the Golden Gate, St. Sofia‟s Cathedral, the monuments to 
Prince Volodimir, Bogdan Khmelnitsky and others. 
In 1037 Yaroslav The Wise ordered to build a new cathedral in honour of his victory over 
the Pechenegs. It was named after St. Sofia- wisdom in Greek. And really St. Sofia‟s Cathedral 
became the center or culture and education in the ancient world. Libraries and workshops were set 
up here.
Another famous attraction of Kiev is the Kievo-Pecherska Lavra. Its sparkling cupolas can 
be seen outside the capital. The first thing that attracts your attention there is the Church of the 
Trinity. Its interior is decorated with beautiful frescoes, the work of the 18
th
century Ukrainian 
craftsmen.
Kiev‟s monuments of the past are perfectly integrated with modern buildings: TV Tower, 
Metro stations, attractive hotels, cinemas, etc.
The city has a well-developed industry. Plants and factories of the city produce many useful goods. 
The Academy of Sciences of Ukraine and many research institutes are situated in Kiev. There are 
many higher and hundreds of secondary schools in the capital. 
Kiev‟s cultural life is also rich and varied. There are fine many museums in Kiev: the State 
Historical Museum of Ukraine, the T.G.Shevchenko State Museum, the State Museum of Ukrainian 
Art. One of the most interesting Museums is the State Museum of Ukrainian Applied Art. 
Kiev is also noted for its theatres. The famous T.G. Shevchenko Opera and Ballet Theatre, the 
Lesya Ukrainka Drama Theatre and others attract visitors from other towns and countries. 
Kiev is a hero city. In the park of the Immortal Glory there is an obelisk for al those who fell in 
battles of the World War II. 
There are some bridges over the Dniper in Kiev. The most interesting one is the Paton 
Bridge, the first all-welded bridge in the world.Khreschatic is the central street of Kiev. It‟s the 
main shopping center of Kiev. Khreschatic is packed with elegant shops, pubs, hotels, restaurants 
and newly styled fashion stores.
