About the Ukraine Steppe Above promotion
The history of the Ukraine began with the rumble of hooves -- Scythian hooves, who dominated the steppes (a semiarid grass-covered plain) north of the Black Sea until the 4th centuries BC. Following the Scythians, a series of invaders ruled and dominated what is now Ukraine, including the Ostrogoths, Huns and the Khazars (sounds like a game of Dungeons and Dragons...)
Centuries later the region became ruled by kazaks (Cossacks), a Turkic word meaning outlaw, adventurer or freebooter. These freebooters (we're not quite sure what a freebooter is, but it's fun to say) eventually settled down and formed a nation state (although it was officially under Polish and later Russian rule).
Today, the Ukraine is home to an amazingly hospitable people, magnificent architecture and miles of gently rolling steppe. The Ukraine is a mix of the modern and ancient. Its capital, Kiev, is replete with Gothic, Byzantine and Baroque architecture and art -- reminders of the many foreign overlords who've left their mark on the country. Nearly every city and town has its centuries-old cathedral, and many have open-air museums of folk architecture, caves stuffed with mummified monks, and exquisite mosaics wherever you look.
