Твір: Черкаська область. Cherkasy region
Черкаська земля дала життя Богдану Хмельницькому, якому було призначено стати лідером нації, що пережила різні часи, і він був першим засновником української держави. Багато чого робиться в Черкаській області для відновлення історичного минулого, щоб співвітчизники знали імена героїв минулих років.
Це такі імена, як Іван Падалка, всесвітньо відомий художник, Тодось Осмачко, письменник, Василь Авраменко, хореограф, і багато інших. Пам’ятники і меморіальні дошки були встановлені під час святкування їхніх ювілеїв на згадку про їх діяльність.
The land of Cherkasy gave birth to Bo-hdan Khmelnytsky who was destined to become the leader of the nation which was surviving difficult times and who was the first to lay the foundation of Ukrainians’ own state. A great deal is being done on the territory of Cherkashchyna to restore the historical past, to bring back to the people the names of our countrymen. They are Ivan Padalka, a world known artist, Todos Osmachka, a writer, Vasyl Avramenko, a choreographer, and many others. The monuments and memorial plaques have been put up to commemorate their activities. The place to which Ukrainians from all over the world make a pilgrimage is the Taras Shevchenko Memorial sites-zvenigorodka area and the sacred Kaniv Mountain where the soul of the nation’s spiritual father rests in its eternal peace. Among the seven historical and cultural reserves the world-famous Sofievka Dendrological Park in Uman is a real pearl. The reform of our economy is the main direction of the changes to be effected.
Those ones in the Cherkasy Region who work in the agrarian sector are changing their attitude to the economic reforms. In general, with regard to foreign investments into economy the Cherkasy Region occupies the fourth place among the other regions of Ukraine. The most beneficial contracts were signed with the firms from the USA, Germany, France, Poland and other countries.
