It comprises twenty four regions, Crimea – an autonomous republic and 2 urban areas that are treated separately: Kiev that is the capital and Sevastopol. The consequence of the orange revolution which took place in 2004, is that Ukraine has the status of semi-presidential republic. Nowadays the system of power in this country has a quite interesting structure: the power is divided between several branches of power. Ukraine has a common border with 10 countries. These countries are Turkey, Romania, Bulgaria, Georgia, Russia, Belarus, Poland, Hungary, Moldova and Slovakia. There are Crimea and Carpathian mountains in Ukraine, Carpathian are significantly higher then Crimea mountains. River Dnieper flows through the imaginary center of Ukraine and separate it into two nearly equal parts. There is a huge amount of hydroelectric power plants are situated on river Dnieper. Every winter there is much snow there but the climate is quite mild and temperature is not very low.

It was established approximately in the 5th century and has got long and amazing history. It was the little settlement that became the center of Slavic civilization in the Eastern Europe. After it was occupied by Mongols in the 13th century and fully destroyed, it lost its eminence for a long time. In the 20th century Kiev was the capital of Ukrainian Soviet Republic that was comprised into the Soviet Union. It was a good chance for Kiev to become a world known city again. Today the population of Kiev is about 3 million citizens. According to the censuses the population is quickly growing year by year. The majority of population is Ukrainians and Russians, but there is a great deal of different ethnic groups which live there for several hundreds years. The government of the Soviet Union developed the building of the real estate in Kiev that became the result of rapidly increasing population.
