As the title suggests, Awesome Ukraine is more than a guide! Simply put, it is all that is awesome about Ukraine - from national dishes, to historical facts, symbols, mythology, popular culture and much more. This book has a highly stylized design and a unique layout with photos spanning the decades. In it you will find explanations as to: why our national symbols are the blue and yellow flag and the tryzub; why Ukrainians are sentimental towards the nightingale, vyshyvanka and salo; why we are proud of Pylyp Orlyk, Serge Lifar, the Klychko brothers and the AN-225 "Mriya" airplane; why Kazantyp has attracted young people for years; and why the centre of Europe is located in Zakarpattia Oblast.

Kyiv is intoxicating. The city explodes with art and culture. Across Kyiv's numerous squares, locals debate politics, play chess and gossip. Its layered history, lush parks and hidden islands along the wide Dnipro provide for endless exploration. Its tree-lined promenades entice lovers to stroll, and revelers to gawk. It's a city of flâneurs. Of poets. Of politics. With this book we are pleased to share with you our love to Kyiv! The book is neither a guide nor a manual. Rather, it's an insight into the city we adore – wonderful, fascinating and strange. On its pages you'll find references to major historical events, famous and talented residents, art, culture, sports, literature, traditions, and even beloved street food.
