Ukraine and Crimea are very famous for battle fields. Especially, the biggest panzer battles around this area in WW 2. After the great tank battle in Kursk 1943, Kiev in Ukraine was the next key city which Stalin wanted to regain.
But these don't so impressed me as a Ukraine affair. By the way, looking up Ukrainian Musicians by Wikipedia. I have been surprised to know great musicians Ukraine gave to the world. For example,
Vladimir Horowitz 1904-1989 piano
Sergei Prokofiev 1891-1953 composer
Sviatoslav Teofilovich Richter 1915-1997 piano
These famouse geniuses were Ukrainians. Nowadays, Jazz became to be well played in Ukraine. Kotebel Jazz Festival is one of the famous Jazz festivals in the world. Billy Cobham ,
drummer , has peformed as a host in this festival.
