0256 Ukraine- Russia - Crimea (Крым)

private swap

Autonomous Republic of Crimea is an administrative region of Ukraine located on Crimean peninsula. The Republic has sea border with Russia. The capital city of the region is Simferopol.
Crimean peninsula situated on the southern edge of Ukraine between the Black Sea and the Azov Sea is divided into two parts. One is steppe area, with huge open spaces and a dry, hot summer.

The other is the coast, which has a subtropical climate. The natural boundary between the areas is the eye-catching Crimean Mountains, which contains a dormant volcano called Kara-Dag.
Despite on a long history, Crimea remains committed secrets and mysteries, a good half of which is reduced to the unique natural resources of the peninsula. Do not be mistaken if we dare to assert that a large share of surprises keep the Crimean mountains. Tourists traveling on forest trails at the foot of the mountain Chater-Dag, can stumble upon two unusual plantation with the mighty trees that are knocked out of the familiar landscape. 
Sovereignty and control of the peninsula became the subject of the ongoing 2014 Crimea crisis, a territorial dispute between Russia and Ukraine.

0165 Ukraine


postcrossing

This card was received my daughter, willingly transferred her to me :) 
A modern interpretation of the meaning of the colors used in the Ukrainian flag is that the color blue represents the color of the sky, and yellow symbolizes the lush golden wheat fields of this country. This association is thought to have been developed in the mid nineteenth century. However, these two colors, blue and yellow, have been associated with Ukraine from the times before the introduction of Christianity. Now they are incorporated into the flag of Ukraine.

One of the world’s heaviest silver coins is found in Ukraine. The coin named “10 years of hryvnia revival” was first produced in 2006 and weighs exactly one kilogram. 
One of the most famous features of the Kyiv Museum of Miniatures is a life-sized flea wearing golden shoes. This gold flea was created by prominent Ukrainian craftsman Mykola Syadrysty.
