More than just a travel guide, Awesome Ukraine is a fresh dive into all that makes our country awesome—from national dishes to historical facts, cultural symbols, myths, pop culture and much, much more, all packed into a stylish and accessible design filled with photos spanning the decades. Find out the origins of our national symbols, from the blue and yellow of our flag to our love of salo, from the vyshyvanka to the tryzub, and even discover our unique sentimentality towards the nightingale. This book demystifies and embraces all expressions of Ukrainian pride, be it Pylyp Orlyk, Serge Lifar, the Klychko brothers, the AN-225 Mriya airplane, or why the center of Europe is located in Zakarpattia Oblast.
