NATIONAL EMBLEMS OF UKRAINE
I. Study the following words:
coat of arms [ ] герб
seal [ ] печать
anthem [ ] гимн
alternate [ ] заменять
trident [ ] трезубец
contemporary [ ] современный
dignified [ ] величественный
device [ ] эмблема
renascence [ ] возрождение
wreath [ ] венок
The national emblems of Ukraine: the coat of arms, the flag, the seal and
the anthem, were alternated during the history of our state owing to various
political, social and cultural factors.
The contemporary national coat of arms of Ukraine, a trident, is the most
ancient and dignified symbols of our state. The archeological finds of tridents in
Ukraine go back to the first century A.D. This emblem was a mark of authority and
a mystic symbol of one of the ethnic groups, which inhabited ancient Ukrainian
territory and which came to compose the Ukrainian nation.
After the renascence of independent Ukraine on January 22, 1918, the
trident was adopted by a law as a national device of the Ukrainian national
Republic. It represented the classic trident of Volodymyr the Great in an
ornamental wreath.
The composition of national colours was decreed by a law in 1918. The
light blue above yellow flag was a symbol of the all-Ukrainian unity.
The Ukrainian anthem “Ukraine has Not Yet Perished” is of quite recent
origin. In 1863 the Lviv Journal “The Goal” published the poem of P.Chubynsky.
The same year it was set to music by composer M.Verbytsky. This song rapidly
became popular and gained broad acceptance among Ukrainians. In 1917 it was
officially adopted as the anthem of the Ukrainian state.

II. Read and translate the text:
The sovereign state of Ukraine celebrated the tenth anniversary of its
independence in 2001. The actual history of Ukraine spans a period of hundreds
upon hundreds of years. We shall not follow the example of some historians and
public figures who in a fit of ultra-patriotic feelings claim that the roots of Ukraine
go deep into the murky prehistoric past to the earliest stages of the Indo-European
civilisation. On the other hand, the many peoples and their culture that existed in the
territory of Ukraine in the past two and a half thousand years did contribute to the
emergence and development of the Ukrainian nation and its culture. Some elements
of these ancient and more recent cultures have become an integral part of the
Ukrainian culture, as we know it today.
Fifth Century BC
A kingdom of the Scythians is formed in the southern parts of Ukraine, the first,
albeit loose, slate formation known to us from various sources (land-tilling, cattle
breeding and large settlements can be traced further back into earlier history, but the
available evidence is not sufficient to form a definite opinion about the ethnic
background of the earliest tribes inhabiting Ukraine, or about their social and
economic structures). In the late sixth or early fifth centuries there appear on the
Crimean southern coast a number of Greek city-states, and a lively cultural
exchange between the Scythians and the Greeks follows. The later history of the
Scythians is known very poorly.
5
First Century AD
Romans come to the southern Crimea and establish their hegemony over some
parts of it. In the following centuries, waves of barbarians roll through the Ukrainian
territory, including the Goths and the Huns.
Fifth Century AD
Some evidence suggests that Kyiv may have been founded close to the end of
the fifth century (some historians are of the opinion that the foundation of Kyiv may
have occurred even earlier). More substantial evidence points to the formation of a
conglomerate of the Eastern Slavic tribes centred around Kyiv. By the end of the
ninth century Kyiv becomes the capital of a state that gradually expands over a vast
territory stretching up the Baltic Sea in the north and almost to the Volga in the east.
The dominant ethnic element in this state was Slavic but the areas further to the
north were inhabited by the Finno-Ugric tribes. A considerable role in the early
history of the Kyivan state, which came to be known as “Kyivan Rus”, was played
by the Vikings from Scandinavia.
AD 988
Grand Duke Volodymyr the Great converts Kyivan Rus to Christianity, with
Kyiv becoming a major religious and cultural centre in Eastern Europe.
Thirteenth Century
Feudal strife leads to the formation of several principalities with Kyiv remaining
a nominal centre. When the Mongol invade Kyivan Rus the Slavic resistance to the
|
invasion is greatly weakened by the lack of any concerted action against the invader.
In 1240 Kyiv is besieged and captured by the Mongols. After the fall of Kyiv, the
Halytsko-Volynske principality becomes the political and cultural centre of Ukraine:
later, one of the rulers of this principality, Danylo, achieves the actual and formal
status of a king.
Fourteenth Century
The biggest part of Ukraine comes under the domination of the Great Duchy of
Lithuania. After the union of Poland and Lithuania, the Ukrainian autonomy is
limited still further.
Sixteenth Century
Zaporizhska Sich, a sort of a Cossack republic is formed by the end of the
century (its centre was in the area of the present-day city of Zaporizhzhya).
Gradually, Sich acquires enough military and political strength to start playing a role
in big-time politics.
Seventeenth Century
In a war of independence the Polish rule is overthrown in a part of Ukraine; the
country is ruled by hetman, and some of the principles upon which the state rests are
similar to those of the Dutch republic, or of the British state during the rule of Oliver
Cromwell. In 1654, Hetman Bohdan Khmelnytsky is forced by an unfavourable
6
political situation to sign a union treaty with the Muscovite state.
Eighteenth Century
Early in the century, Hetman Mazepa, motivated by a growing concern about an
increasing interference of the Russian Empire in the Ukrainian affairs, makes moves
directed at establishing a greater autonomy or even complete independence of
Ukraine; he becomes an ally of the Swedish King Charles XII who invades Russia
with an excellently equipped and trained army. In the Battle of Poltava in 1709, the
Russian army defeats the Swedish-Ukrainian troops. By the end of the century,
Ukraine completely loses its autonomy and is divided between the Russian and
Austrian Empires.
Twentieth Century
In 1917, following the Revolution in Russia, Ukraine becomes autonomous and
a little later independent (November 1917 — the Ukrainian People’s Republic is
proclaimed; January 1918 — full independence is declared; western and eastern
Ukrainian lands are united in one state). This independence, which is upheld by the
national revival movement that began in the previous century, is short lived, and
Ukraine becomes an arena of a bloody civil war in which several forces, domestic
and foreign, vied for supremacy. The Bolshevik government that comes to power as
a result of a coup, pursues an aggressive policy against Ukraine. By 1920, the
Bolshevik forces are victorious, and two years later Ukraine is integrated into the
Soviet Union. The Stalinist economic and socialist policies result in a massive
disruption of agricultural production and Ukraine is hit by several famines, the most
disastrous of which is that of 1932-1933, when millions of Ukrainians die of
starvation.
1939 — in accordance with a secret protocol of the German-Soviet Non-
Aggression Pact of August 1939, the western Ukrainian land, which hitherto were
under the Polish rule, are reunited with the rest of Ukraine. In 1941, Nazi Germany
invades the Soviet Union and Ukraine once again finds itself among the countries
the hardest hit by the war. Ukrainian resistance both to the German and Soviet rule
begins in Western Ukraine: the Ukrainian Insurgent does not lay down its arms after
the defeat of Germany and continues fighting against the Soviet regime well into the
1950s.
1945 — the Soviet Ukraine becomes one of the UN founding states.
1986 — in April, a reactor explodes at the Chernobyl nuclear power station,
about a hundred miles from Kyiv: the explosion and radioactive fall-out result in the
worst man-made technological disaster of all times. Millions of people are affected
by the result of the Chernohyl disaster.
1991 – on 16 July, Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine adopts the Declaration of
Ukrainian Sovereignty: the movement in support of independence gains momentum.
|
1991 — on 24 August, Ukraine is declared independent, following an abortive
coup in Moscow (the coup was an attempt to prevent a disintegration of the Soviet
Union). In December, a referendum is held and the absolute majority of the
Ukrainian population votes for independence. The first president is elected (Leonid
Kravchuk), and a slow process of building an economic, social and political
foundation of sovereignty begins: within several months, Ukrainian independence is
recognised worldwide.
1994 – in the second presidential elections, Leonid Kuchma gets more votes
than the incumbent president Kravchuk; in 1999, Leonid Kuchma is elected for the
second term in office.
1996 – on 28 June, Verkhovna Rada, after much debate, adopts the new
Constitution of Ukraine; on 2 September, hryvnya, the new national monetary unit,
is introduced.
2001 – the Roman Pope John Paul II visits Ukraine in June.
August 24, 2001 — Ukraine celebrates the 10th anniversary of its independence.
2002 — on 31 March, Parliamentary elections will be held.
