There is no unequivocal answer to the question of how old Ukraine is in 2020, since in various sources the date of the appearance of this state is counted in different ways. So, for example, some scholars believe that Ukrainian statehood originates from the moment of the creation of Kievan Rus. On the map of Eastern Europe, this state appeared in the 9th century (882). Thus, to date, Ukrainian statehood has more than 1131 years.
As for independence, most sources indicate two dates on which Ukraine became an independent power:
09 (22) 01.1918 - the independence of the UNR from Soviet Russia;
08/24/1991 - Ukraine's independence from the USSR.
Today, the authorities of Ukraine are still more inclined towards the first date, when, according to the IV Universal published by the Central Rada, the UNR gained independence, became "... a free sovereign state of the Ukrainian people."
It would be most correct to consider the moment of the formation of Ukraine as an independent and separate state exactly 08/24/1991 - the date of signing the Act of Declaration of Independence of Ukraine, based on the results of the meeting of the leaders of the USSR, where the Belovezhskaya Agreement on the Union of Sovereign States was concluded. Thus, the question: "How old is Ukraine and its independence?" implies the only correct answer is 28 years.

How many states are in the US now?
The acceptance of any territory into the United States is preceded by a lengthy procedure: the obligatory adoption by the territory of its own constitution, which must satisfy the US Congress, which decides on its admission to the United States. In accordance with the precedent set by the US Supreme Court in Texas v. White in 1869, states cannot unilaterally secede from the United States.

People tend to live not alone, but in a society of their own kind. That's why we create families. More broadly, we settle down next to other people. This is how cities, regions and countries historically arose. Today there are about 200 countries and more than 2 million settlements in the world, in which more than 6 billion people live.
Each of us cherishes the city where we were born. Also, we are interested in the cities where our relatives or friends live. We are also interested in those cities in which we once visited or are still planning to visit. Today, this interest may well satisfy the Internet. So we have created a section "Countries, regions and cities of the world" on our website. About 100 countries, regions and cities have already been described here. There are also photos of some interesting places. Questions of the history and present of various countries and cities are often discussed at the Vorkuta forum. And now we present you the thematic section "Cities" in the news section of our website.
In December 2008, a news section appeared on the city's website. Now you can, as well as news in 30 more thematic categories! The authors and editors of the news section of our site work for you around the clock.
You can also become a member of the news section team. We invite the Vorkuta media, thematic media (about countries, regions and cities) and freelance journalists, as well as various organizations related to the celebrations to cooperate. If you are interested, please contact the site administrator (details are given on the "Contacts" page).

The favorite saying of many of our statesmen, that everyone should pay taxes, has already set the teeth on edge. Like, without them the state cannot exist. Like, taxes are the main source of state revenue. They say that roads, schools and hospitals are being built with the money collected in the form of taxes. The army is paid for with this money. Such statements look ridiculous in a country rich in minerals and other resources. After all, there are dozens of countries in the world that have roads, schools with hospitals, and an army, but taxes are either not taken at all, or are taken, but in a purely symbolic form. What are these countries? |
Our Earth is truly an extraordinary place. That's probably why interesting facts about the countries of the world you can find a great variety. The most "musical" state on the planet, a city where it is officially forbidden to die, and a small American village, the mayor of which is a cat - read about this and much more further in our article.
- The American city of Yuma, located in the southern state of Arizona, is officially the hottest city on earth.
In some of its suburbs, daylight hours reach 11 (!) hours, and 90 percent of weather forecasts indicate dry and clear weather. In total, during the year, the sun over Yuma shines for more than 4,000 hours. And the average annual temperature reaches 32 degrees Celsius.
- But the coldest place on our planet is the Polar Plateau, located in Antarctica.
In this place, the temperature often drops to -90 degrees!
- The most popular country among tourists is sunny and romantic France.
According to the UNWTO (World Tourism Organization), more than 85 million people visit this country every year. The US (70 million) and (61 million) are in second and third place with a significant margin. Thailand (27 million) and Russia (28 million) close the top ten most popular tourist countries. Iran is at the bottom of the rankings. Only 15 percent of tourists who visited this ancient state rated their trip positively. Although in Lately the trend began to change.
- Quite a few interesting facts about countries can be found in our native Europe.
For example, Iceland is considered the cleanest and most environmentally friendly country on the planet, and the Dutch city of Groningen is the city with the most a large number bicycles per capita. In addition, Prague Castle, located in the center of the Czech capital, is the largest presidential residence in the world, as well as the largest castle on the planet.
In addition, the Czech Republic holds another record - the inhabitants of this country drink more beer than any other people in the world. On average, one adult citizen of the Czech Republic drinks more than 165 liters of beer per calendar year. Russia, traditionally considered a very drinking country, occupies only the fifth place in the general list.
- Prosperous and in every sense successful Sweden is known as the most musical country on the planet.
Despite the fact that the population of the kingdom is relatively small - only 9.7 million people - it is here that the per capita share is the largest number world stage stars. Abba, Europe, Ace of Base, Loreen, Arash, Doctor Alban, Army of Lovers, E-Type, The Cardigans, Basshunter - all this is just a small fraction of the wonderful performers that this northern country has given to the world.
- However, interesting facts about European countries it by no means ends there.
For example, Greece is the country with the most sex (at least, it is here that the largest number of condoms are sold annually per capita). But the most "happy" countries on the planet, according to the UN, are Norway and Denmark.
In addition, Norway is known for the fact that it is on its territory that the small town of Longyearbyen is located, in which it is officially forbidden to die. However, so interesting fact is not at all due to superstition or the fact that the total number of inhabitants in the city barely reaches 1000 people. The reason is the frozen ground on which Longyearbyen is located. Due to the high degree of soil glaciation, bodies buried in the vicinity of the city do not decompose, thereby creating bad smell and attracting wild animals to the area. Therefore, all people who are near death or have recently died are sent to the more southern regions of the country, where they are buried with all due honors.
- Interesting Facts about countries can be found outside the Old World. For example, South Sudan is known as the youngest state on the planet (officially recognized by all UN members). But Canada can boast that it is in its open spaces that the largest number of people with higher education live.
In addition, this North American state has the largest number of lakes in the world.
- A considerable number interesting facts Canada's neighbor, the USA, can also please us.
What is the fact that it is in America that the largest number of rich people on the planet live. The number of dollar millionaires in this country exceeds seven million people, which is more than the entire population, and Estonia combined. But that's not all. It is estimated that the Americans are the most voracious nation in the world. In a year, US residents eat 18 hectares of pizza and 20 billion hot dogs.
Therefore, it is not surprising that more than 68 percent of Americans are overweight.
- Another interesting fact lies in the fact that it is in the United States that the city of Sharon is located, the mayor of which is officially not a man, but a cat.
The “political career” of a cat named Freddie began rather banally: every day he came to the city administration building, where he spent most your free time. Soon everyone loved the cute cat and began to feed it. At first, only one woman was engaged in this - the city treasurer, but later almost the whole city joined the care of the "four-legged politician". They began to bring food, toys and even personal savings to the mayor's office of a small town to buy things necessary for Freddie. Thus, the charming cat has become a universal favorite, and at the same time one of the most popular residents of the city. As a result, very soon the cat became a symbol and a kind of talisman of the city of Sharon, and some time later he was officially appointed its mayor. However, Freddie, of course, has no special duties. After all, the real manager of the city is not the mayor, but the municipal president. Therefore, the very position of the mayor is, in fact, ceremonial.
- The Nepalese city of Kathmandu became famous for a completely opposite achievement, known for that there are practically no cats. So interesting fact, however, it is explained rather banally: the thing is that there are a lot of monkeys in the capital of Nepal.
As a result, over the centuries, cats have actually been driven out of the city due to constant attacks from lively and unfriendly monkeys. Today, cats in Kathmandu are found only in local temples. Surprisingly, rare and unusual creatures for the city are officially recognized as sacred in Nepal.

Novice travelers often take a lot of things with them, which as a result will not even be useful, moreover, a heavy burden will often make itself felt. The goal of every traveler is to enjoy great moments, not to spoil them. Staying in a new city, it is worth experiencing different aspects of living here, for example, having lunch in a good restaurant, and having dinner with food from street stalls. So you can form an opinion about national dishes one place or another.
This also applies to accommodation. Diversify your trip by staying overnight in a comfortable hotel, and spend the next night in a hostel. This is a great opportunity to meet people and gain experience that will last a lifetime. When traveling in a foreign country, it is recommended to ask for help in the language of local residents, even if the tourist is just learning to pronounce it, he will arouse sympathy among others and a desire to help.
