Despite the fact that 26 years of independence for many Ukrainians flew like one moment they were filled with victories and defeats, joys and sorrows. “Today,” I remembered what distinguished each of these years and handed out 26 categories of “most-most”. For this, we used data of the state service of statistics and relevant ministries and agencies.
It was found in 1994, most of Ukrainians swept on trains, in 1998, the country counted more people of retirement age, in 2000, adopted the most children-orphans, in 2008, came to us most foreign tourists. In addition, in 2011 the authorities have declared a real war debris, 2010 remember the abnormal heat, and in 2016, our farmers harvested a record over all the years of independence the grain harvest.
Despite the fact that the current 2017 has already passed its equator, he still has time to go down in history due to their achievements and victories. Personally, we would like to believe that he will be remembered by Ukrainians as the most happy, and best of peace, the year of independence.
