''Ukrayina'', known in English as '''Ukraine''' or "the Ukraine" (the former is becoming increasingly common) is a former Soviet state, declaring independence in 1991. Before that, it was under Russian and, even earlier, Polish rule, and most famous for its hard-to-pronounce Cossack Host, the Zaporozhians.
