On August 24, independent Ukraine turns 30 years old, and deep into the centuries goes cultural roots. This blue-yellow Cossack country has been related to Sweden since the Viking Age and has hosted song and struggle for 1000 years. The land of Ukraine, as rich as its culture, was being devoured by all the nearby empires such as Russia, Turkey, Austria, Poland, and others. during long epochs.
The struggle for independence was never given up. National culture developed despite the fact that several Ukrainian talents contributed to the cultures of empires instead of their own, but still we have wonderful Ukrainian literature that shines through the centuries.
