A very important national holiday, it commemorates Ukrainian Independence from the Soviet Union in 1991.
To this day, Independence Day in Ukraine is celebrated with great pomp. Ukrainians have always had their own culture and language, but for centuries were dominated by Russia, Poland, Turkey and other countries.
